GROUND CHICKEN CHILI



Ground Chicken Chili image

After trying other white chili recipes, I created my own that full with ground chicken, beans, peppers, and savory herbs, hot-spicy yet sweet, and creamy for a change from tomato-based chili. My partner frequently takes my cooking to work for colleagues to sample, and they said this is not only some great chili with kick, it's one of the best non-standard chilis they've eaten! Thick and robust, great for dinner on a cool evening. Up the ante with tortilla chips or corn muffins as a side--with kernel corn and diced chiles added to the muffin batter.

LOW FAT CHILI



Low Fat Chili image

An easy chili recipe with lean ground beef and low in calories and fat. Most often when I want chili I want beef not chicken or turkey. This simple chili lends itself to many variations while still remaining low in calories.

Provided by Chef Larz in Pennsb

Categories     Beans

Time 1h20m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb ground beef (lean 97/3)
2 (15 ounce) cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed
2 (15 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 small onion, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons dried garlic, reconstituted
2 tablespoons chili powder (see note)
1 tablespoon cumin (see note)
2 teaspoons ground red pepper (see note)
2 teaspoons cilantro
2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 cups water (optional, use as needed for consistancy)

Steps:

  • Cook ground beef and onions together in a skillet until meat is browned and onion is almost clear. If using 93/7 lean ground beef a small amount of oil might be needed to prevent sticking.
  • Combine all ingredients in large pot. Bring to a boil and reduce heat. Cover and simmer for about 1 hour.
  • Note: many variations are possible. Try adding green chilies, cubed potatoes, rice, light or fat free cheddar or whatever you can imagine.
  • NOTE: Calories calculated by this system differ radically from my own. Using the values given on each of the items in the recipe I calculated only 180 Calories per 1 cup serving. 'Zaar might not be adjusting for extra lean groung beef.
  • NOTE: For a milder version reduce chili powder, cumin and red pepper by 1/2.

LOW FAT CHICKEN GREEN CHILI



Low Fat Chicken Green Chili image

My husband has switched from Atkins to the Body-For-Life diet, where food needs to be low fat and about equal portions of protein and carbohydrates. This is one of his favorites.

Provided by Raquel Grinnell

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 onions, diced
5 garlic cloves, minced
4 1/2 cups reduced-sodium fat-free chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
2 (12 ounce) jars green chili salsa, mild
3 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast halves (approx 12 pieces)
2 (4 ounce) cans diced green chilies
1 (10 ounce) can Rotel tomatoes & chilies, undrained
2 (15 1/2 ounce) cans cannellini beans, drained
1 (16 ounce) can fat-free refried beans
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan or dutch oven, heat the oil over medium high heat and saute the onions for a few minutes, until softened. Add the garlic and saute for another minute. If at any time during the saute the pan starts to dry, add a splash of chicken broth (up to 1/2 cup is set aside in the recipe for this step) and stir.
  • When the onions and garlic are soft, add the rest of the broth, salt, pepper, salsa and chicken. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low and simmer, covered, for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center. Remove the chicken and set aside to cool.
  • Stir in the rest of the ingredients and bring to a boil over high heat. Shred the chicken with two forks and add it back to the pot. Stir to combine. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes. Stir occasionally to keep from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • We like to eat this topped with a little bit of reduced fat shredded cheddar cheese and a dollop of low fat sour cream.

Tips for Making Low-Fat Ground Chicken Chili:

  • Choose lean ground chicken. Look for ground chicken that is 93% lean or higher. This will help keep the chili low in fat and calories.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. Vegetables add flavor, nutrients, and texture to the chili. Some good choices include onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, corn, and black beans.
  • Don't overcook the ground chicken. Overcooked ground chicken is tough and dry. Cook it just until it is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  • Add flavor with spices. Chili powder, cumin, oregano, and cayenne pepper are all good choices for adding flavor to the chili. You can also add a touch of heat with some chopped jalapeños.
  • Simmer the chili for at least 30 minutes. This will help the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the chili with your favorite toppings. Some good choices include shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, and chopped cilantro.

Conclusion:

Low-fat ground chicken chili is a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed by the whole family. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Experiment with different spices and vegetables to create a chili that is unique and flavorful.
