Any chili recipes??

I've been eating Wendy's chili with no problems and I would like to get a recipe to make chili at home.  I know there are a ton of them on the internet but I am looking for something if possible that would have more protein??

Any suggestions?

Chicken W/ Blackbeans and Cream Cheese


 

2 pounds of boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch cubes,
1 (15 1/2 ounce) can black beans, rinsed 
1 (15 ounce) jar salsa, any kind
1 (4 ounce) package cream cheese (not fat free, bad texture for this)

Simmer chicken pieces in small amount of water. for about 15 minutes, until cooked.  Drain. Add beans and salsa, cover and simmer until everything is heated through. about 15-20 . Turn off heat, top with cream cheese, cover and stir melted cheese into sauce before serving.

Like all of my recipes, there's always something strange, but heavenly in the taste.... give this one a try...  Hope you like it...

T's Real deal low-carb chili

 

Ingredients:

 

2 pounds ground chuck or ground sirloiin

1 medium shallot, minced

1 tablespoon shortening

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon black pepper, coarsely ground

1 teaspoon garlic powder

¼ teaspoon nutmeg

1 teaspoon cumin powder

1 teaspoon allspice

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon basil, dried

1/2 teaspoon oregano, dried

Salt to taste

 

 

Preparation:

 

Ok this is gonna be weird for a lot of people, but DO NOT BROWN the meat first!

 

To get the right consistency, cover the meat with water and soak, in the

fridge, for about 30 minutes.

Take a fork and break up any remaining chunks.

Drain the water and go on to browning.

You will have some water

while browning but it will slowly steam off.

Brown beef, shallots and shortening.

Add remaining ingredients.

Simmer for 3 hours. If you need to add more water, that’s cool……if you want to add beans…that’s cool too but the carbs will jump up quite a bit!

 

(without the beans it remains under 5 grams/serving)

 

This recipe yields 4-5 servings.
