Chicken and Two Bean Chili



Recommended Posts

I made this today for the family and stuck a small amount in the Bullet for me. My sleeve was pleased, as was my palette.

1st mix into chili pot, cook and stir:

4 boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1 inch chunks

2 tbls olive oil

1 tbls of Hot Mexican Chili powder - McCormick

1 tbls of Chipoltle chili pepper, crushed - McCormick

1 tsp crushed red pepper

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 tbls cumin

1 chopped yellow onion

1 green bell pepper

1 yellow bell pepper

1-2 tbls chopped garlic

1 can Pace's diced tomatoes and green chiles

Add 3 cups of Water, stir and simmer for approx 10 minutes.

Then add 15.5 oz can of Bush's reduced sodium black Beans and 15.5 oz can of Bush's pinto beans reduced sodium, drained and rinsed.

Add green taco sauce

1 6oz can garlic and oregano Tomato paste

Add 1 additional cup of water, if needed.

Simmer until peppers are tender and liquid reduces.

Serves 6

We opted to add a little Kraft Reduced Fat Colby Jack cheese crumbles. I had less than half a serving, but this is the nutritional info for 1 whole serving.

I forgot to add. Chop up fresh cilantro and add it to the chili. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
