Healthy Chicken Chili

It was a rainy football Saturday so we opted to make a tasty chili. We decided to make a white chicken chili. As you can see in the picture below, we are making sure to use low sodium options. Ro-tel just started making a no salt added option! Yay! If you have high blood pressure, no salt added or low sodium is what you are looking for. Once you cut it out of your diet, you can definitely tell when you eat something with it. You don't really realize how much salt/sodium is in foods until you look at labels. We also try to buy chicken with no added salt or antibiotics. 

You can also buy no salt added spices, we have found that Whole Foods carries many options for them. If you don't have one, just look, you'd be surprised by how many options there are now.

We also learned a little trick, rinsing canned beans/food will eliminate about 80% of the sodium.

Everything added to our crockpot. Those liners are great! We cooked on low for about 8 hours.

Who doesn't want crackers in their chili? We found these fantastic healthy ones. We split it in two and each had one in ours. 

Yummy chili! One cup each with a pinch of cheese on top.
