Lowfat White Chicken Chili

[Sleevedreamz 107]

White chicken Chili: 4 cans great northern Beans, 1 lb. chicken, 2 cloves garlic, 1 cup diced onion, 2 t. Oregano, 2 cans lowfat cream of chicken, 3 cups lowfat chicken broth, 1 can diced green chiles,6 oz low fat/fat free sour cream, and 2 cups low fat monterey jack shredded cheese. Cover your skillet with olive oil, add the diced onion, crushed garlic cloves, chicken (I added whole pieces and cut up later, but you can cut up beforehand if you want), and canned chilies. I set the stove top on about 4-5 and covered with a lid and let all of this cook together. I went ahead and got my larger pot ready and added the beans, cream of chicken, broth, and oregano and let this start heating up on low to medium heat. After about 10-15 minutes (when my chicken was cooked through) I added the skillet ingredients (I cut my chicken up at this time) into the pot so that everything could cook together. I cooked on medium heat for about 30 minutes. At the very end, we added the 6oz of sour cream and the cheese and let simmer for another 5-10 minutes and then it was ready to go. I added about a tsp of sour cream on top of Soup right before I ate it. (I am using this during my pureed stage, but will probably have it again once I move onto solid foods bc of the Protein and the ability to add unflavored Protein Powder as well.)

Did you drain the Beans?

[Sleevedreamz 107]

No, we didn't.

This certainly does not sound to be a calorie conscious recipe. cheese, sour cream, chicken Soup in a can?

cheese = Protein

Sour cream = plain Greek yogurt = Protein

Caned chicken soup - meh, if your careful you can find decent stuff. But it is healthier to make it yourself.

Everything we used was low fat or fat free. Plus, I can only eat 4oz so I think it was less than 100 calories plus a lot of Protein.

Everything I'm cooking with these days is fat free and sugar free and even though my husband doesn't need to lose weight he has lost about 8lbs.

You can get fat free just about anything these days. Even for the chicken recipes tht I put on here: theres sugar free Bq sauce, weight watchers chz or reduced fat chz, fat free cream chz, turkey bacon, ect. The list goes on & on. When I read a recipe Im immediately seeing what I can subsitute for anything thats fattening or high in carbs.
