Chicken and Corn Chili

   This is a delicious and low-cal chili that we really enjoy at our house.  It's like a nice, thick soup with a tiny bit of a kick!  I made some last night for dinner and we finished it up for lunch today.:)  Yummy with hot cornbread or rolls...

Chicken and Corn Chili

1 large onion, chopped
1 rotisserie chicken, cut into bite size pieces or shredded
2 cups chicken broth
1 3/4 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 can diced tomatoes with jalapenos, drained
1 1/2 cups frozen corn
2 cans Great Northern beans or cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
2 TB stone ground cornmeal


Combine onion, chicken broth, cumin and cayenne pepper and cook until onion is softened.  Add remaining ingredients (except cornmeal) and cook over medium heat.  Gently mash some of the beans against the side of the pot to thicken chili.  Stir in the cornmeal.  Simmer for about 15 minutes so it's gets nice and warm and then enjoy!  Easy and soooo yummy!
