    The challenge was a pantry full of canned chicken. The recipe I came up with is a hearty chicken and bean stew that could not be easier to make. You can customize this recipe with your favorite pasta and whatever beans you like. The seasoning is a package of Centrella Chili Mix. This mix is amazingly low in sodium, only 340mg per package, yet contains all the spices you need for 8 hearty servings. And you can adjust the heat by adjusting the amount of spice mix you add. The whole package is spicy! Sometimes it is far more economical to use a pre-packaged spice mix, but read the label carefully as some packages contain an unreasonable amount of sodium. I garnish this stew with shredded cheese and a little crumbled corn chips!

    Ingredients

    • 3 cups low sodium chicken stock
    • 2 5 oz. cans chicken breast packed in water with all liquid
    • 1 15.5 oz. can corn with liquid
    • 1 15.5 oz. can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
    • 1 15.5 oz. can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
    • 1 29 oz. can hominy, drained and rinsed
    • 1 4 oz. can chopped green chilies
    • 1 cup cooked whole wheat pasta
    • 1 package (1.25 oz.) low sodium chili seasoning

    Directions

    1. Combine all ingredients in a large stock pot. Simmer 15 minutes to combine favors. Serve piping hot in soup bowls. Can be garnished with crushed Fritos (2 teaspoons = 45 calories) and grated co-jack cheese (1/2 oz. = 55 calories).
