Zesty White Chicken Chili Recipe
Zesty White Chicken Chili

By Live Right Live Well

It's a breeze to make a big pot of chili that warms and comforts, but isn't as heavy as a traditional chili. Perfect for family meals or parties, this recipe is filled with lean chicken, fiber, and nutrient-rich vegetables and seasonings.

To keep sodium down, use reduced-sodium chicken broth, and drain and rinse the beans well. Roasted ground cumin, a relatively new spice you can find at your local grocer, adds additional depth to the cumin and ancho chili pepper seasonings. Boost the hot sauce and jalapeno if you can handle the heat!
