White bean and chicken chili...on a hot day :)

white bean chicken chili

So, it's summer time and what else does a girl crave but chili! I am an AVID food network watcher and saw Guy F. go to a restaurant with tons of delicious looking Mexican food and thus, the craving began. Even though the temp outside was 90+, the thought of a steaming bowl of this creamy, cheesy, spicy deliciousness was just too much to bear, so I hauled out my spices and went to work. I wanted chili with a red sauce and tons of cheese and sour cream (used light, at and 2% cheddar, so that's not so bad, right?) and happened to have a can (yes, I said can but to my defense, canned beans are good and take a fraction of the time to prepare, so sorry mom, but I cheated) of cannelini beans and some really good tomatoes so prep and cooking time was short and the end result was delicious! I also saved tons of calories by using boneless skinless chicken breast and olive oil, so I can justify the cheese/sour cream indulgence! Hope you like the pic and that it makes you too crave a heaping, steaming bowl of chili!
Ps. If you want the recipe, just ask, I will be more than happy to pass it along :)
Happy eating and much love
