Chicken Green Chili Saturday night football
Saturday, January 14, 2006
We ate at Little India for lunch today. It is THE best place in Denver to eat Indian food. They also have the best chai in town. Yum. Needless to say, we were uncomfortably full for hours after. Why do we do this to ourselves? *grumble grumble*
So I decided to make us a healthy dinner tonight. This is a recipe for Chicken Green Chili from the Body for Life cookbook. It is really yummy and good for you. This recipe is 8 servings.
8C nonfat chicken broth
2lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 onion diced
2 packets Knorr's Roasted Chicken Gravy
1 jalapeno's diced
1/2C fresh diced cilantro
3 7oz cans diced green chilies
6 cloves garlic (minced)
1/2 tsp cumin
1 can white hominy (rinsed)
1 tomato (diced)
In a large stockpan, bring the chicken and onion to a boil in the broth. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove the chicken and cool. Whisk in the 2 gravy packets, add the jalapeno, green chilis, cumin, garlic and hominy. Bring to a boil again, shred the chicken, add it back in, reduce heat and simmer for 40 minutes. Serve topped with diced tomato, non-fat sour cream or lo-fat cheese. (If you want it super hot, add another jalepeno)
This meal goes well with football. In other words, it keeps me occupied while David watches the game. Tonight is an oddity in our household. Who IS this man I am marrying? When I met David, I thought I was the luckiest girl in the world to find a someone than could give a rip about sports. Woo hoo, no spending every Sunday drinking beer and watching the game. Well apparently that changes when you are in a football pool at work, and knowing nothing about the sport you are ahead! David who gets a field goal confused with scoring a basket is yelling at the tv like a young fratboy. He is so excited. On the other hand, there is myself, who knows that the best time to go to the mall or grocery store is during a game, especially if that game is in town! Ok nevermind, I'm going to go get sucked in. Go Broncos!
