Lets just say I have had two weeks of bad eating. I had family visiting and food brings people together, in other words, I ate a lot (and low nutrient, high calorie food at that). To get my body on track for an active summer I wanted to make an easy meal that has lots of vegetables, lean protein, and most importantly tastes great! Crock pots are a great way to have a healthy meal made with minimal effort, and very little clean up!
Slow Chicken Chili
1 yellow onion chopped
2 15 oz cans of beans, rinsed and drained (I used one can of kidney beans, and one can of white beans because thats what I had)
large can crushed tomatoes in juice
16 oz can of whole kernel corn drained
4 oz can diced fire roasted green chilies
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Packet of Chili seasoning (low sodium if available)
Place all ingredients except for the chicken in a crock pot and mix together. Place chicken breasts on top and cover. Cook on low setting for about 10 hours or on high for 6 hours. After cooking is complete, remove the chicken and shred with a fork, return it to the crock pot and mix chili together. You can garnish this chili with chopped cilantro, diced avocado, shredded cheese, or anything that you desire. I used fresh chives!
