Slow-Cooker White Chicken Chili: 10 Minutes of Prep, 53 Grams of Protein

Why it works

Ten minutes of prep in the morning, and the slow cooker carries dinner the rest of the way. Chicken, white beans, tomatoes with green chiles, corn, and broth simmer together all day, and the finish — cottage cheese and cream cheese whisked smooth with a ladle of hot broth — turns it rich and creamy without a roux or a long stir at the stove. At about 53 grams of protein per serving, it is the kind of dinner that actually keeps you full, and the leftovers make Monday's lunch without a second thought.

The recipe

Ingredients

• 2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 cans cannellini beans, drained
• 2 cans Rotel (diced tomatoes + green chiles)
• 1 can corn, drained
• 1 onion, diced
• 1½ containers chicken bone broth
• 1 tbsp cumin · 1 tsp oregano · 2 tsp onion powder · 2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese + 4 oz reduced-fat cream cheese, to finish

Steps

1. Add everything except the cheeses to the slow cooker. Cook on LOW 6 hrs (or HIGH 3).
2. Remove chicken; shred with two forks and return to the pot.
3. Whisk a cup of hot broth into the cottage cheese and cream cheese until smooth; stir in.
4. Top with cilantro. Leftovers = Monday's lunch.
