I can’t believe we’re already six weeks in! I hope you’re having as much fun with this project as I am. This week’s recipe is virtually untouched from a health perspective because it’s actually really healthy on its own! The only think you’ll need to be mindful of is your portion size and your chili add-ons (you know, like chips, cheese, sour cream, etc.)

Speaking of sour cream … if you’re watching your weight and working to stay on the healthy side of things, try replacing sour cream with plain Greek yogurt. The taste is almost identical but the yogurt has less fat, few calories and offers a protein punch. Fun fact for your Wednesday!

**I added a dash of Worcestershire sauce at the end and stirred it all together but forgot to catch and mention that on film**

Recipe (Original)

• 2 pounds chicken breast – cubed
• Oil for sauteing chicken and onions
• 1 onion
• 2 tbsp curry powder
• 2 tbsp chili powder
• 2 tbsp cumin
• Dash of Worcestershire sauce
• 2 large cans of crushed tomatoes
• 1 can kidney beans (or black beans like I used)
• 1 can garbanzo beans

Season chicken cubes with salt, pepper and garlic powder

Mince 1 onion

Put oil in deep pot and heat

Add chicken and saute until browned

Add onion and saute until soft

Add tomatoes and beans

Add spices and stir

Cook on stove top for 1 hour or until tender

I’m not including a “healthified” written version because nothing changes! Just be sure to use ingredients that are as natural as possible (less salt, no added sugars, etc.).

I was born a foodie. My dad is a chef, baker, and restaurant owner and my mom might as well be because she owns whatever kitchen she walks into. I grew up working in my family’s restaurant and bakery in Pawling, New York – McKinney and Doyle. I started behind the bakery counter at 12 years old after begging my parents to let me start working. At 16 I worked as a hostess. By 18 I was serving tables and training behind the bar where I then worked every other weekend throughout my college career. Even now, when I am visiting my family in New York, I help out where I’m needed. To make a long story short, the food and restaurant industry has been my life for as long as I can remember.

I wanted to create this blog for a few reasons. First and foremost, to share tips, tricks, and knowledge about the food and beverage industry in general but also to help people see a different side of the restaurant world. Every restaurant has a totally unique culture and world within it. I want to help open people’s eyes to more than how fast the service is or how easy or hard it is to secure a reservation.

So, thanks for stopping by! I welcome your ideas, input, and feedback and hope you enjoy!

Eat well & travel often,

Becky McKinney
