White Chicken Chili

By

PrimalWhite chili is called white chili for three reasons. One, it’s made with chicken, not beef. Two, it’s made with white beans. Three, it’s sometimes thickened with milk and flour, or cream.

Does white chili have a place at the Primal table? Absolutely. It’s easy to dispense with the milk and flour, since thickening the chili isn’t crucial to its flavor. What about the beans?  You can keep them in the chili if you like (although perhaps in smaller amounts than most recipes call for). Or, substitute cubes of celery root to provide a creamy but slightly firm texture that’s similar to beans. Like beans, celery root also has a neutral, but earthy flavor.

Then, heap on the shredded chicken, poblano peppers, cilantro, green onions and everything else that makes white chili so delicious. Without beans or dairy, this white chili is a lighter meal than regular white chili, but no less satisfying.

Servings: 4 to 6

Time in the Kitchen: 45 minutes

Ingredients

Primal

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs (450 g) (or 3 cups cooked and shredded chicken)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (15 g)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil (15 ml)
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons cumin (10 ml)
  • 2 teaspoons coriander (10 ml)
  • 3 to 5 cups chicken stock, depending on how much broth you want (770 ml to 1.2 L)
  • 1 celery root, peeled and cut into small cubes
  • 2 poblano peppers, chopped
  • Garnishes: chopped cilantro, green onions, jalapenos, squeeze of lime

Instructions

Primal

If starting with raw chicken thighs, then bring a medium pot filled with water to a gentle boil. Add the chicken thighs and simmer 20 minutes. Remove chicken from water and shred with a knife. Season with salt and set aside.

In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, warm the butter and oil. Add the onion and garlic. Saute until the onions are soft and lightly browned. Add the cumin and coriander and sauté a few minutes more, careful not to burn the garlic.

Add 3 cups chicken stock. Add celery root. Simmer 20 minutes, or until celery root is soft and easily pierced with a fork.

Add poblano peppers and cooked chicken. Simmer 10 minutes more.
If you want more broth in the chili, add the remaining chicken stock and simmer until warm. Season the chili with salt and pepper. Garnish with chopped cilantro and green onions or chopped jalapenos, and a squeeze of lime.

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev
