Second to traditional (red) chili, is White Chili, for me!  I have a white chili recipe I make for company or to give away that isn’t quite as healthy as the one below-we’ll share that one on another day.  Here is a super easy and very healthy white chili that you should try!

 

Crock Pot Santa Fe White Chicken Chili

Serve over  brown rice and don’t forget the toppings: Chopped scallions, fresh cilantro, fat free yogurt or sour cream and reduced fat cheddar are my favorites.
