2 Skinless, Chicken Breasts, cooked and shredded
(Sodium Content: 172mg sodium)
1-49 oz. container White Northern Beans
1-12 oz. Jar Low Salt Salsa
The Art of Chipotle Mango Gingersnap Salsa
(Sodium Content: 220mg sodium 12 oz. jar)
1-2 Teaspoons Cumin
4 oz. Monterey Jack Cheese (152mg sodium per oz.)
Rinse and drain the white northern beans before adding to
the chili recipe. Rinsing canned beans before adding to
low salt recipes can reduce salt content by about half.
Combine the ingredients in a large soup pot the chicken breasts,
northern beans and salsa. Heat and bring to a low simmer.
Simmer gently for about 30 minutes or more with
a medium heat.
Shred the Monterey Jack Cheese and stir in to the chili mixture.
Cook for an additional 15 minutes until cheese is well mixed.
If this recipe for white chili is too thick, add a can
of Campbell's Low Sodium Chicken Broth to thin the chili.
If you have special low salt diet needs, then chicken is a terrific choice for low cholesterol and low fat healthy cooking recipes. Chicken is moderately low in sodium, and for those following a heart diet, it is recommended to eat the white meat of the chicken as opposed to the dark meat or other parts of the chicken. To reduce saturated fat and cholesterol intake, remove the skin from the chicken before eating.
If you like a hot and spicy chili recipe, then you can try adding in one or two teaspoons of Kroger Chili Powder, which only adds 40mg of sodium per teaspoon to this low salt food recipe. A more traditional tomato flavored Salsa is Green Mountain Gringo Salsa (sodium content: 90mg per serving) which does have more sodium than the Salsa called for in this chili recipe, but has less salt and about half the sodium content of other common brands of salsa.
