Chicken Chili

ChefDarlingNikki's Note:

I tried this recipe for a work chili cook off. The women said I was the winner, but the men say it can't be considered chili! Whatever you call it, it is super delish and low in fat! Our local grocery store, Hy Vee, had this in their handout.

• 4 large garlic cloves, minced
• 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can chicken broth
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander

4. Remove from heat.
5. Garnish with shredded cheese and sour cream.

Loved the flavor of this chili. It is so funny DH asked what it was and he said "This isn't chili" how funny is that? I cut the recipe in half and used yellow corn and low fat cheddar cheese. Very tasty this is a keeper. Made for Spring PAC 2010. Thanks for posting. :)
