Exhibit A...

Yes I do cook, contrary to popular belief. To prove it I have for you Exhibit A... Exhibit B is the end result of my little bout of cooking...
What you see above is White Chicken Chili a.k.a. Healthy Heaven in a bowl!
Here's the recipe, you want it I promise!
- Boil 3 chicken breasts until cooked, then shred with a fork
- In a large saucepan saute one large onion and 3 large sticks of celery (thinly sliced) in olive oil until translucent, then add the shredded chicken.
- Add cumin, garlic powder, chopped garlic to taste (the more the merrier!)
- Add 1 can of chicken broth, 1 cup salsa, and 2 cans of Great Northern beans (or any white bean of your choice) and chopped cilantro
- Add 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, one handful at a time allowing it to melt
- Allow to simmer for at least 5 minutes, the longer the better!
- Serve in a bowl topped with avocado and cilantro....Flavor overload!
This was not the original recipe that I was shown (thanks you Marissa Neve and Erin Tate for introducing me to heaven in a bowl) but that is the greatness of chili, you can kinda put your own spin on it and it still turns out delicious(most of the time)! Next time I make this I am going to add more veggies because I will take any opportunity I can to trick my husband into eating veggies! Another perk to this recipe is that it makes for great leftovers especially when you're sitting in the xray control room at 1:30a.m. Whoops, there's a knee, gotta go!

  1. That looks delish!! Would it be as good without the bean? I don't really care for white beans.:( It looks tastey though.
