For those of you that have had my "fabulous" white chicken chili (which was posted a long time ago on my blog), you know that it is by far one of the best chili's you've ever tasted and also one of the most unhealthy. I get asked all the time for my recipe and we've also made it the annual main dish during our work holiday open house - people come each year just for the chili.
Again, I love the taste, but with today's eating plan I can't afford the calories. In an effort to stay on course and eat healthy, I searched for an eat clean white bean chili recipe and here is what I found from one of my favorite sites; "The Eat-Clean Diet" website:
This is a thick, hearty slow-cooker recipe.....
