Chicken Chili (regular or low fat)

Chicken Chili (Ronni's way)


1lb Chicken (breast or tenderloin work well)
1 medium onion chopped
1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 can chicken broth
1 can chopped green chilies
1 tsp salt1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp dry oregano
1/2 tsp pepper
Throw everything in the crock pot and let it cook on low all day or at least 4 hours. The chicken can be frozen (you will need to cook it longer).

2 cans great northern beans
Add beans to chicken 1 hour before serving.

1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup whipping cream
Stir in sour cream and whipping cream 1/2 hour before serving.

Serve in bread bowls or with bread sticks.

*Low Fat *

I have really been trying to cook and eat better. We had this the other night and instead of sour cream I used PLAIN GREEK YOGURT (Greek yogurt is better because it is thicker you could use regular and just thicken it with cornstarch) and 2% Milk instead of cream. It wasn't as creamy but it tasted just as good and I didn't feel too bad about having seconds. Making the switch saved us around 400 Calories can't beat that! I also made the bread sticks with whole wheat flour and no one complained and everyone enjoyed our "low fat" chicken chili.
