Cooking with Allison 5/17

Hey everybody, just as I promised in my first post, I will be giving you all sorts of neat recipes, workouts, movie reviews and rants! Today I decided to try a new recipe from Southern Living Magazine, and its for a Smoky Chicken Chili! Its a delicious white chicken type chili and its really healthy! If you are on weight watchers like me, its only 5 points plus for a whole cup! So if you like to cook I reccomend you try this recipie:


Ingrediants:
2 poblano chili peppers, chopped
1 large red bell pepper, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves minced
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 (14.5oz) cans zesty chili-style diced tomatoes
3 cups shredded or chopped chicken
1 (16 oz) can navy beans
1 (15 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 & 1/2 cups low sodium, fat free, chicken broth
1 (1.25oz) packet of white chicken chili seasoning mix


How to:
Saute first four ingredients in olive oil in a large pan over medium/high heat on the stove for about 5 to 10 minutes. Then stir in diced tomatoes and the next five ingredients in any order. Bring it to a boil on high heat for a minute. Then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes to an hour, stirring occasionally. Serve with toppings such as sour cream, cheese, cilantro, corn or tortilla chips. 


A great side to this dish is guacamole and tortilla chips!


Here is a pic of the finished Chili on the stove! It easily serves a family of 5 or 6 people! Enjoy!
