Chicken and White Bean Chili

This is so yummy on a cold night, filled with mega protein!

Serves 8 people.  Only 270 calories per serving, 26 g of protein.

1 T olive oil
2 Yellow onions, chopped
5 Garlic cloves, chopped
2 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, diced into small pieces
1 can roasted green chilies
1 Jalapeno, chopped (remove the seeds, if you can't handle the burn)
1 Anaheim pepper, chopped
2 tsp Cumin
1 tsp Oregano
1/2 tsp Cayenne pepper
4 C Low sodium chicken stock
1 Can cannellini beans, drained
Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

A few T chopped cilantro
Greek yogurt (to top)
1/4 C cheddar cheese

Heat olive oil in pot, add garlic, onion.  Cook about 3 minutes.  Raise the heat to med-high and add chicken, chilies, peppers and spices.  Cook for about 8-10 minutes.

Add chicken stock and beans.  Bring mixture to a boil, lower the heat and simmer.   Simmer uncovered for about 20 minute (or longer, all the flavors will marry and taste even better the longer it simmers).

Top with cheese and a dollop of Greek yogurt and cilantro.
