Quinoa White Chicken Chili
Quinoa White Chicken Chili might be just the American recipe you are searching for. One serving contains 471 calories, 40g of protein, and 11g of fat. For $2.53 per serving, you get a main course that serves 4. If you have lime juice, onion, quinoa, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it. To use up the onion you could follow this main course with the Candy Corn Cupcakes as a dessert. It can be enjoyed any time, but it is especially good for The Super Bowl. It is a good option if you're following a gluten free and dairy free diet.
Instructions
Heat the oil in a large sauce pan over medium heat, add the onion and jalapeno peppers and cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the garlic and cumin and cook until fragrant, about a minute.
Add the broth, salsa verde, chicken, beans, quinoa and oregano, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the chicken is cooked and the quinoa is tender, about 10-15 minutes.
Remove the chicken, shred or dice, return to soup along with the lime juice and cilantro, season with salt and pepper and remove from heat.
Recommended wine: Cava, Grenache, Shiraz
Cava, Grenache, and Shiraz are great choices for Chili. These juicy reds don't have too much tannin (important for spicy foods), but a sparkling wine like cava can tame the heat even better. The Marques de Caceres Cava with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 16 dollars per bottle.
