I love chili and this clean organic recipe is the best! All made in the slow cooker and took about 2 hrs till it was ready to serve:
Organic Clean Slow Cooker Chicken/Turkey Chili
Ingredients
• 2 lbs ground lean chicken or turkey - your choice
• 2 (15oz) can of light red kidney beans - ORGANIC and LOW sodium or use fresh and
soak over night
• 2 (15 oz) cans of dark red kidney beans- ORGANIC and LOW sodium or use fresh and
soak over night
• 2 cups salsa - I used organic salsa from Trader Joes
• 1 (6oz) can tomato paste - I substituted it for tube paste instead and used ORGANIC
• 1 large yellow onion chopped - ORGANIC
• 4 stalks celery, chopped - ORGANIC HEARTS
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped - ORGANIC
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped - ORGANIC
• Chili powder, about 1/4 cup
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 clove garlic, pressed - I increased this to 2 cloves
• 1 tablespoon oregano - I used dried
• 2 teaspoons cumin - dried
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teasoon salt - I OMITTED THIS
• 1 teasponn pepper - ground fresh black pepper
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Green Chile peppers, chopped (optional) - I used canned
• fresh cilantro - to taste
• fresh organic green onion finely chopped
Instructions
I cooked the chicken in a non stick skillet pan. I also added the fresh garlic to the chicken while it cooked to flavor it a little.
Then combine all the ingredients in the crock pot (I used a crock pot liner bag to minimize my clean up later!) and cook on low for 8 hours, or high for about 4. Top with green onions and a dollop of Fage greek yogurt!
Notes: I serve with homemade "clean" cornbread. You find that recipe at: www.thegraciouspantry.com.
Preparation Time: 30 minutes Cooking Time: 4 - 8 hours

That sounds wonderful,
and yes, that IS a bit 'cleaner' than the very very simple SkinnyTaste chili soup i just made this week,
which did use pre-packaged, lower sodium spice mix.:blushing: and canned beans, etc.
http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/743753-200-calories-chili-soup-only-20-min-to-make:heart:
In making this SkinnyTaste recipe i also learned about how much leaner ground WHITE turkey meat is than ground beef. (i didn't know the difference between
ground turkey,
and
ground WHITE meat turkey) <----less fat, less calories.
Still, the SkinnyTaste chili was soooooooo fast to make,
so so easy, low cost, high nutrition, and very very pretty to look at, so colorful with greens, yellows, reds, browns, etc....
..about 20 minutes to make it, and was about 200 calories for generous 1 &1/4 cup size serving. Very filling and very very tasty.
I froze servings in freezer bags for later,:drinker: it made such a big pot of chili soup.0 -
