Healthy White Chili - Gluten Free
by kneans
This "white" chili is essentially a twist on chicken enchiladas, but lower calorie :-) Enjoy!
INGREDIENTS
- 4 boneless chicken breasts ; grilled, cut into small chunks
- 2 4 oz cans diced green chiles
- 1/2 white onion ; peeled and chopped
- 3 cloves Fresh garlic, peeled
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup Light cream cheese
- 2 cups water
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 pinch (Bolner's) Fiesta Brand Chicken Fajita Seasoning
INSTRUCTIONS
1) Saute chopped onion, garlic, and green chiles until onions are slightly browned and chiles are fragrant.
2) Add almond milk and cream cheese. Wisk in cream cheese until melted and distributed evenly.
3) Add almond flour. Wisk out lumps and let simmer for 1-2 minutes.
4) Now that the base is done, add water and chicken. Stir often and well. Allow to cook down for about 30 minutes.
5) Add tablespoon of cornstarch to thicken the broth/gravy slightly, and stir.
6) Season to taste with fajita seasoning and serve.
NOTES
Be sparing with fajita seasoning! Between the chiles and the cream cheese, this recipe is already salty. This is why I add it last.
