SB Chipotle Chicken and Chickpea Soup

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories :

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
7 ounces chipotle chile canned in adobo
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup red bell pepper -- diced small
1/4 whole yellow onion -- chopped fine
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon dried thyme
2 tablespoons fresh parsley -- chopped fine
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 skinless boneless chicken breast halves
29 ounces chicken stock
14 1/2 ounces canned tomatoes -- diced
15 ounces garbanzo beans, canned -- drained
4 tablespoons fat-free sour cream
4 tablespoons reduced fat cheddar cheese
chopped green onions

Instructions
Dice chicken into bite-size pieces. Toss with salt, pepper, cumin, and thyme. Remove 1 chipotle chile from can (reserve the remaining chiles and sauce for another use) and puree with chickpeas and parsley in food processor until smooth. Add enough chicken stock to make a thick but spreadable paste.

Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat and sauté bell pepper, onions, and garlic, about 5 minutes. Add seasoned chicken and continue to cook, stirring to sear chicken on all sides, about 3 minutes. Stir in chickpea mixture and cook just until it becomes aromatic. Add canned tomatoes and additional chicken stock to your preferred thickness. Bring to a boil for just a minute, and then reduce to a simmer for at least another 5 to 10 minutes to let the flavors mix and develop. Season to taste. Top each serving with 1 tablespoon of nonfat sour cream and a pinch of green onions. Add a tablespoon of reduced fat or low-fat shredded cheddar cheese

This meal is JUST AWESOME:

Prepare a 9x9in pan with cooking spray,

Next, cut up a few day old whole grain or wheat bread into squares(or just break it up)...enough to cover bottom of pan...3-4 slices
Place the bread evenly on the bottom of the pan.

Now, Cut into squares 6-8oz already cooked/grilled chicken or turkey and place over the bread.

Then, place 1/2-1 cup any soy cheese (such as shredded motzarella or provolone) *Can also use regular cheese but it will have higher fat content.


Mix 5 egg whites and one whole egg with 1/4 cup ff milk(Or use egg beaters).Add salt,pepper, crushed red pepper to taste. Pour the egg mix over the bread and the chicken/turkey and bake at 350 deg. for about 25-30 min. Or untill golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Serve warm ....makes 2-3 servings.

I am not sure about the nutritional values BUT I have revised this recepe from my grandmothers bread,cheddar,bacon egg bake!!!

P.S. You can add anything you want to this, make it smaller portion...etc.
I like chopping a little bit of green/red peppers and adding it to the eggs. Also, I make the same thing with turkey/chicken and cooked broccoli!!!

*ENJOY!

Does anyone have a recipie for sweet potatoe chips? I tried making them once and it was a huge failure.

I would 1st go to a kitchen store near you & buy (if you don't already have one) a jelly-roll pan + a rack (criss cross pattern). They usually sell them as a set.

Then slice the sweet potatoes into rounds, place on the rack, spray with cooking spray & season as desired. Bake at about 375 till as done as you like.

They may not get crispy like white potatoes as sweet potatoes are a lot moister..........

Thank you! I will try that tonight!
