White Chicken Chili

This is a modified version of a recipe on allrecipes.com that I enjoy greatly and that gives you a lot of protein, a lot of taste, and very few calories. You could make it much faster and easier with pre-prepared chicken breast, first sauteed with the onions and garlic in olive oil. You would increase the amount of broth by 1/2 cup or so and wouldn't use water in that scenario. Submitted by: TISHARAY

I make something very similar to this, but I add avacado, and only dress with lime juice. I'll have to try your additions. - 1/14/10

I took this to a picnic and it was a big hit. I decreased the amount of olive oil and it tasted great. I used the low fat scoops. - 9/1/09

I've tried a very similar recipe before..this stuff is great! You can also "marinate" in your favorite italian dressing. Good stuff! - 1/16/09
