How to Make Low Fat Chicken Green Chili
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1 medium chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened.
- Add 2 minced cloves of garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
- If the pan becomes dry at any point during sautéing, add a splash of chicken broth and stir.
- Once the onions and garlic are soft, add 1 ½ cups of low-sodium chicken broth, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and 1 cup of your favorite low-sodium salsa. Add 1.5 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
- Stir to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
- Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside to cool slightly.
- [Add additional ingredients here based on your preferences. Examples include: 1 (15-ounce) can of diced green chilies, drained; 1 cup chopped bell peppers; ½ cup chopped cilantro; 1 teaspoon cumin; ½ teaspoon chili powder] Stir to combine.
- Shred the cooled chicken using two forks and return it to the pot.
- Stir to combine the chicken with the sauce.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Serve hot, topped with ¼ cup of reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese and 2 tablespoons of low-fat sour cream, if desired.
