Crock-Pot White Chicken Chili

Hope you had a great weekend! I know so many like this time of year, but I dread it. I hate cold weather but what I do love about this time of year is fuzzy socks, boots, and sweaters. This weekend it finally got chilly in Alabama, so I decided to make some White Chicken Chili on Sunday. Y’all, Eric was very vocal about how good this chili was, and I happened to agree. I think this is the best I have ever made.  I invited my sister and her husband over, and we ate the whole dang crock-pot. Half way through the meal, the Tostitos Scoops came out and made it even better. This somewhat healthy chili now became unhealthy with the portion size and scoops I devoured, but who cares—it’s Thanksgiving week. I was somewhat sad when I realized this chili was all gone. I was really wanting left overs for lunch. I suspect I will be making this again very soon!

I didn’t really change anything with this recipe besides onions to onion powder, regular corn to low sodium corn, and half and half to fat free half and half. 

Ingredients

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts

1 tbsp onion powder or 1 medium yellow onion diced

½ tsp of minced garlic

24 oz. low sodium chicken broth

1 15oz can low sodium whole kernel corn drained

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1 tsp cumin

¾ tsp oregano

½ tsp chili powder

¼ tsp cayenne pepper

1 tsp of cilantro chopped

4 oz reduced fat cream cheese

¼ cup fat free half and half

Instructions

• Add chicken breasts to bottom of crock-pot, top with salt, pepper, cumin, oregano, chili powder, and cayenne pepper.
