This white chicken chili is a healthy one-pot recipe that won’t disappoint!
Serves 4
Purchase “all natural “ or organic, skinless, boneless white and/or dark meat chicken. Using a sharp knife, slice pieces into 1-inch bite sized pieces. In a large, deep pot, or Dutch oven, sauté the chicken in butter (or coconut oil) with the chopped onion and minced garlic until just done.
Add the chicken broth, cannellini beans, green chilies, oregano, cumin, cayenne pepper, and salt. Simmer for 30-45 minutes to allow flavors to blend and develop. If desired, add in the last 5 minutes of simmering, a small handful of fresh baby spinach, kale, or arugula leaves for added nutrition.
Divide the chopped cilantro and avocado between four bowls. Ladle the chili over the top and serve.
*We recommend that you cook a whole chicken in a pot with water, celery, lemongrass, and peppercorns to render your own yummy stock for this soup and the cooked chicken meat as well. Keep extra stock in the freezer for the next recipe.
** For those able to do so, we recommend purchasing dried beans, soaking them and preparing them in advance to avoid the BPA in cans. Additionally, you may want to look for a BPA-free lined can like Eden Organic. Trader Joes claims their canned beans are in a BPA free lined can.
A delicious salad with flexible choices. *Alternatives to Brussels sprouts include arugula, cabbage slaw, or shredded romaine. Field greens would work too!

2 T extra virgin olive oil
2 T fresh Meyer (less acidic) lemon or regular lemon
2 T avocado oil based mayonnaise
1 small clove garlic, finely minced
½ t sea salt
3 cups finely shredded Brussels sprouts*
3 cups finely shredded kale
Fresh ground black pepper, to taste

The cranberry sauce and the pumpkin pie can be two big sources of sugar at Thanksgiving. But it isn’t necessary, and you don’t have to give up great flavor and taste! The pie crust is an excellent gluten free option for every kind of pie. If you can find CoCo Whip in the freezer section of your grocery store, it is an excellent replacement for those other common whips full of hydrogenated damaged oils. Enjoy and Give Thanks!
