Chicken chili

Chick Chili 

So I meant to take a picture ,but completely forgot about the picture until I was already halfway through my lunch, oh well. Hopefully I'll remember when I have the leftovers ! 

Got home from visiting my daughters school and working out, and I was not in the mood for salad. Needing  to use some left over chicken we had I threw this together really quick. You could easily make this ahead of time freeze and take for lunch later in the week.

Left over rotisserie chicken we had about 4 ounces left 

heaping teaspoon minced garlic 

1/2  medium onion chopped

1 can dark red kidney beans 

1 can black beans 

1 can tomato sauce 

2 tablespoon chili powder 

few dashes of cumin 

salt/pepper to taste 

Tbsp butter 

Add butter, chopped onion, garlic and chicken since it was leftover rotisserie it was already cooked saute until onions are cooked. Add all of the cans the tomato sauce, kidney beans, black beans I drained the black beans not the kidney beans. Add the chili powder and cumin stir heat to boiling reduce hit and let simmer for 30 minutes. Makes 4 cups each cup is 315 calories. 

Garnish with a Tbsp of plain Greek yogurt and a small bit of shredded cheese. Speaking of shredded cheese be sure and change out the pre shredded  kind for the block kind and shred your own. There are chemicals in the shredded bagged cheese to keep the cheese from clumping together those chemicals are not in the block cheese. 

A cup and a half of chili an ounce of cheese and a Tbsp of Greek yogurt is 602 calories. Keep in mind beans are higher in carbs so this is perfect for lunch, if you are trying to lose weight you need to stick with a lean meat and veggie for dinner ! Happy healthy eating !
