Hey guys! I'm back again with another Tasty Tuesday!

 

I do alter my recipes to fit my own tastes, so please also feel free to refer back to the original recipe at the bottom of the post to see what I may have eliminated.

 

 Most of my recipes are Weight Watcher friendly, but don't let that scare you away. They are actually really good. I've also found some great websites like Skinny Kitchen and Skinny Taste that I use a lot too. Most of my recipes have some kick to them, so if you are not a big spicy person, adjust the spices to better fit your tastes. OH. And all of the meals I cook are really easy to prepare. I'm not big on difficult meals.

 

 

 

Ingredients:

 

-2 (14.5oz) cans white beans, rinsed and drained

-4 cups low sodium chicken broth

-1 tbsp. vegetable oil

-1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced

-2 medium poblano peppers, seeded and diced

-4 garlic cloves, minced

-1 tbsp. ground cumin

-1-1/2 tsps. ground coriander

-1 tsp ancho chili powder

-salt

-1 rotisserie chicken, skin removed and shredded

-3/4 cup frozen corn

-1/4 cup chopped cilantro

-1 tbsp. lime juice

-sour cream

-tortilla chips

 

Directions:

 

1. In a food processor, blend 1 can of the beans with 1 cup of the chicken broth. Set aside.

 

2. Add the vegetable oil to a large pot and heat it over medium heat. Add the onion, jalapeno pepper, and poblano peppers and saute until soft, about 4 minutes.

 

3. Add the garlic and saute for one minute more.

 

4. Add the cumin, coriander, and chili powder and continue to cook, stirring frequently for 1 minute more to toast the spices.

 

5. Add the chicken stock, pureed beans, and 1/2 tsp of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes.

 

6. Stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken, other can of white beans, corn, cilantro, and lime juice. Bring back to a simmer and cook until everything is heated through. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and lime juice, if necessary. (The broth will be somewhat soupy- that's how it is supposed to be. It thickens the longer it sits.)

 

7. Serve the chili in individual bowls with sour cream and crushed tortilla chips.

 

Notes:

 

-The chili thickens as it sits. If you make it ahead of time, you will probably need to add more broth or water to thin it out.

 

-I didn't have ground coriander or ancho chili powder. I used regular chili powder and then added garlic powder, Adobo seasoning, and Cajun seasoning instead.

 

Serves: 4-6

Serving Size: 1 bowl

Cook Time: 35 minutes

My Rating: 5 stars. I loved this so much. Will definitely be making again!
