Are you ready for some.....

Sundays. The Lords day for some, but for others its the ONLY day to watch FOOTBALL. And what goes with FOOTBALL...CHILI!!!!  Yes that right CHILLI, thanks to Skinny Taste again I found a awesome and filling new crock pot recipe to taste and share with you all. So be prepared to be dazzled!!

No I just want to let you all know that I was NEVER a big fan of chili. Mostly, because it gave me heart burn. I would feel like there was fire radiating from my chest every time I would eat it. So up until about a year ago I wouldn't eat it. Then for some strange reason I started to crave it and I have been searching for something I could make and boy did I find it.

• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 16-oz can black beans
• 1 16-oz can kidney beans
• 1 8-oz can tomato sauce
• 10 oz package frozen corn kernels
• 2 14.5-oz cans diced tomatoes w/chilies
• 1 packet taco seasoning
• 1 tbsp cumin
• 1 tbsp chili powder
• 24 oz (3-4) boneless skinless chicken breasts
• chili peppers, chopped (optional)
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Combine beans, onion, chili peppers, corn, tomato sauce, cumin, chili powder and taco seasoning in a slow cooker. Place chicken on top and cover. Cook on low for 10 hours or on high for 6 hours. Half hour before serving, remove chicken and shred. Return chicken to slow cooker and stir in. Top with fresh cilantro. Also try it with low fat cheese and sour cream (extra points).

Now, ya'll know I have to do stuff my own way. I didn't change to much. First I left out the chili peppers. One because I knew it was gonna be hot as SHIT already with the chilies from the tomatoes and the chili powder was going to kick it up more anyways, So NO CHILLIES here!! I also served it with Jasmine Rice which is about 6 to 8 points for a cup prepared. Sour cream is 0 if you get fat free and I used 2 point weight watchers shredded four blend cheese. Tyra ate hers on a whole wheat tortilla shell and the ones I have are 3 points. So you have options. You could make this a dip if you wanted. Strain off the juice and put it in a bowl with some queso cheese and multi grain chips, AWESOME!! But we ate it like chili. So I will get on with the preparing. 

Everything you need. Minus my bread and bread maker. :)

So it's pretty simple. I cheated and got already chopped onions. So you pretty much mix everything in a bowl (i didn't use a bowl, but I should have) minus the chicken. Also, you may wanna drain the water off one of the beans, and maybe even both. If you use fresh beans, cause you are adventurous and savvy, then you are going to have to add water. I have a small crock pot, so it overflowed a couple of times cause once its gets a cooking its gonna make its own juice. So when you get done it should look a little like this...

The mixture and my chicken, I seasoned it with some Mrs. Dash.

Just like with the Chicken Santa Fe, you pop the chicken right on top and put the lid on it....

Looks kinda gross, but oh just wait!!!

Then you let it cook about 6 hours on high, 10 hours on low. Perfect for a cold winter's Monday night, put it on before you go to work and presto you will have a complete meal with veggies too :)  Don't forget about 30 mins before its done to take the chicken out and shred it up. 

Now, the food was SOO good that we kinda for got to take pictures of it. I send you Skinnytaste  to see her pictures, which are awesome. When I make my burrito at work this week I will update the blog so you can see what it looks like. I just want you all to know that it is very hearty. I only ate like 1 cup of it. Full to the max. In my next blog I will tell you about the awesome dessert we had with it. This was a very good and hearty meal for someone who loves a spicy chili but who wants it to be kind. :) I hope you all enjoy!!
