This is one I like to make on the weekends and then slowly enjoy the rest of the week for lunches. My 19 month old son loves it too!

1 T cumin seeds
2 onions, finely chopped
5 cloves of garlic, coarse chop

2 lb chicken breast in small cubes (1/2" - 1")

In a large pot, heat oil and cumin over medium heat until cumin is toasted. Add garlic, peppers, and onion. Cook until tender and golden (~15 minutes).

DURING THE VEGGIE BROWNING... Pre-cook chicken in skillet with Pam or a little oil. Sear all sides, 2-3 minutes in all. Set aside. (final cooking will be in the chili)

Back to the pot. Add chili powder, bay leaf, and cumin. Cook for 30 seconds and add the tomatoes (juice and all). Stir and bring to simmer. Add broth and beans. Stir.

Bring to a simmer and then reduce heat to medium/low/ Gentle simmer, uncovered until it thickens (~45 minutes). Add in chicken and cook until chicken is tender, about 15 more minutes.

Get ready to enjoy!

Power Pudding

Need that sweet fix? Here is what I have used to get my fix...
(6 servings at 1/2 C)

1 box Sugar Free Jello Pudding - Chocolate
(Made with skim milk)
1 scoop Whey - Chocolate ~120 calories and 24 g protein
4 oz extra of milk

Beat it, just beat it.....

1/2 C gave me 103 calories, 5g protein, 9g carb, and < 1g fat.

It may not be much, but it was nice to have a sweeter treat!
