A HEALTHY MEAL & NFL FOOTBALL
It’s a cold rainy winter day here in Hollywood. This is the time of year everyone starts seems to forget about eating clean. For whatever reason this is the time of year I tend to start clean it up and focus on getting a jump start on burning fat before the Yew Year.
Now just because I clean it up doesn’t mean it has to be bland. I like to enjoy my food so that means my healthy meal needs to taste amazing. Plus when I have a girl over they seem to appreciate a guy that can cook. (That’s a hint for all you guys serving plain chicken and brown rice to your girls)
So as I look around trying to come up with ideas of what I can make I happen to locate a crockpot hidden in the back of one of the cabinets. Sweet, that just made my life easier. All I have to do is throw everything in the crockpot and forget about it for hours.
I think I’m going with some chicken chili on this chilly day and enjoy it while we watch the Saints play the Falcons on Thursday Night Football! Cooking with a crockpot is pretty much dummy proof. I apologize in advance for anyone who can’t seem to figure it out therefore claiming the title of dummy.
HERE’S THE RECIPE
Ingredients:
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 15 oz can black beans
1 15 oz can kidney beans
1 28 oz can diced tomatoes
½ 15 oz can tomato sauce
1 large yellow onion, diced
1 large bell pepper, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 jalepeno, diced
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tbsp cumin
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp fresh ground pepper
Ready for the directions?
Take all the ingredients and throw them in the crockpot. Stir a few times until it’s well mixed. Put the lid on and cook on low for about 6 hours. When it’s done shred the chicken and give it a few stirs and serve. Simple enough?
TASTE TEST TIME
I’m not gonna lie. That s*#t is delicious. Even though Drew Brees didn’t throw a TD to my man Darren Sproles and getting my fantasy football squad off to a slow start for the week, this chili and cornbread more than made up for it. Who says a healthy meal can’t taste great!
