How to Make Abby S White Chili Low Fat

  1. Heat a large stock pot over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of PAM cooking spray.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 medium chopped onion, 2 stalks chopped celery, and 2 cloves minced garlic.
  3. Cook and stir for 4-5 minutes, until vegetables are softened.
  4. Add 2 tablespoons chili powder, 1 tablespoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1 teaspoon ground coriander to the vegetables.
  5. Mix well and cook for 1 minute.
  6. Add 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour and stir until vegetables are well coated.
  7. Stir in 4 cups chicken broth and 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk.
  8. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  9. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes.
  10. Add 1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans (drained and rinsed), 1 (4-ounce) can diced green chilies, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste).
  11. Reduce heat to medium-low.
  12. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  13. Remove the chili from the heat.
  14. Stir in 1/2 cup sour cream and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
  15. For added protein: Cook 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total) in a toaster oven at 375°F for 30 minutes, or until cooked through. Cube and add half to each serving of chili (reserve the rest for another meal).
  16. Optional: Stir in 1/2 cup lentils during step 10.
  17. Add more broth if the chili becomes too thick.
  18. Garnish with cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese and chopped green onions, if desired. Serve with a side of wild rice and brown rice blend for a complete meal.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
