Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a large Dutch oven or pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and jalapeño and cook, stirring often, until the onions are tender, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic, oregano, cumin, paprika, cayenne, salt and a few grinds of black pepper, and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  1. Add the chicken broth, cannellini beans and diced green chiles with their liquid; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Lower the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the broth has reduced by about half, 18 to 20 minutes. Off the heat, use a wooden spoon to mash some of the beans against the side of the pot. Continue mashing the beans until the broth is noticeably thicker.
  1. Return the pot to medium, stir in the chicken and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. Juice the lime over the pot, then taste for seasonings and add more salt, blackpepper, and cayenne, if desired.
  1. Serve the chili in bowls topped as you like with a lime wedge, shredded cheese, pickled jalapeños, diced avocado, yogurt,chopped fresh cilantro, etc. Be sure to add the calories for any desired toppings.

Note

To make shredded chicken breast, spray a  little olive oil into a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the chicken. Let this cook for 5 minutes (it should be slightly golden), then use tongs to flip the chicken over. Once the chicken is flipped over, add 3/4 cup of fat-free chicken broth or water to the pan and cover with a lid. This will keep the chicken moist while cooking it fast. Cook the chicken for another 7-10 minutes. Once chicken is cooked through, use two forks to separate the chicken meat and shred as you separate. You can also use a stand mixer to shred.
