6 cups
- Serves:

ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 lbs chicken, cubed
- 1 (30 ounce) can spicy chili beans
- 1 -2 can Mexican-style diced tomatoes (I used 1)
- 1⁄4 teaspoon hot chili powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 can tomato sauce (optional for thinner chili) (optional)
- 1 cup chopped onion (optional)
- 1 cup chopped green pepper (optional)
- 1 packet ol el paso taco seasoning mix (optional)
- fat-free cheddar cheese (optional)
directions
- Cut chicken into cubes, (it's easier if you buy chicken tenderloins/breasts for that) Put into a Medium size pot on medium-high heat for 5-10 minutes or until lightly brown.
- When lightly browned stir in the last 5-9 ingredients, reduce to medium-low heat, and cook for about 15-20 minutes.
- (It's supposed to be thick, but if you want thinner just add the tomato sauce. I didn't add green peppers or tomato sauce to mine and it tasted great. Although the next time I definitly will.) Serve 1 cup portions and top with about an 1/8 cup of cheese.
- Or eat with some natural peanut butter on whole wheat.

I am from Kentucky. I'm 14 years old, and I love to cook. I live way out in the country so it's hard to find fresh herbs, and it's hard to make a quick trip to the grocery store to buy a missing ingrediant. We have to drive 30 minutes to get a gallon of milk!
I enjoy healthy cooking. If you find a recipe of mine on here it's most definitly healthy. And I always tweak my recipes to become even more healthy for you. Like cake recipes I always replace the oil with natural applesauce which I think gives everything a better flavor.
I'm not an expert on foods, however I would love to goto culinary school. I enjoy watching people cook on TV. I DO watch Emeril, and everything on food network. I love to watch the Cooking Episodes on the Health Channel. It really does give you some ideas for healthy meals.
And in order to cook a recipe out of a Muscle and Fitness Magazine you got to be ready to tweak the ingrediants and get creative, because not all of them will turn out tasting the best.
I also subscribe to Light n Tasty. I look forward to my new issue ever 2 months.
I love that magazine. It's truely one of my favorites. It's alot better then Cooking Light if you ask me.
School, my most favorite of all subjects is History. I LOVE IT! I always like to watch the educational channels as much as any ol' channel. I have a big interest in past wars, and politics. I'm not saying that I want to be president, I'm just saying I am very controversial whenever it comes to politics. And the 2000 election was so obvious, I knew George Bush would get it. Believe it or not, my mom asked ME who she should vote for. And I had already considered the pros and cons of George and Al, so I was 100% George Bush.
Well, I'm going to go. Hopefully you'll be seeing more recipes on the Zaar from me.
