Dorm Room White Chicken Chili
-Anna Lavender

Servings: Approx 8 (1 cup per serving)

Ingredients
2 lb (32oz) boneless skinless chicken breast
1 can (15-16oz) Black Beans (drained and rinsed)
1 can (15-16oz) Northern (white) Beans (undrained)
6 oz Non-fat Greek Yogurt (or light sour cream)
18 grams (2 packets) MCCORMICK White Chili chicken mix
16 fl oz water (or chicken stock for a richer taste)

Directions
Cut the chicken into bite-sized chunks (Don't have a cutting board/knife? No Problem! Buy chicken tenderloins or use drained canned chicken).
Stir all the ingredients together (except the yogurt) and add to the crock-pot
Cook on low all day, or on High for 2-3 hours.
(If cooking all day, you may have to add a little water if the chili thickens too much)
Right before serving, stir in the yogurt

Extras:
Want it less spicy? Use only one packet of MCCORMICK mix
Want it more spicy? Toss in some canned green chili peppers (drained) or salsa
Don't like Black Beans? Use two cans of white beans instead
Want more color? Add a canned of drained chopped tomatos or Drained Corn
Want it creamier? Add more yogurt
Want to dress it up? Sprinkle with a little cheese before serving (But be careful of cheese serving sizes!)
