Ingredients
  

  • 2 Tbsp oil
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 lbs ground chicken
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 Tbsp cumin
  • 2 tsp oregano
  • ½ tsp chili powder
  • 2 Tbsp rice flour
  • 1 15oz can cannelloni or white bean, rinsed and drained
  • 2 handfuls white Swiss chard stems removed, finely chopped
  • 1 cup corn
  • 2 cup GF chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup cauliflower purée optional
  • 1-2 tsp pesto optional
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan grated, optional

Instructions
 

  • In a Dutch oven sauté onions and garlic in oil until soft. Add chicken and cook until no longer pink. Add seasonings, spices, and flour and stir for 2 more minutes. Add beans, chard, corn, stock and purée if you like. Simmer uncovered on low for 50 minutes or until reduced by about half and chili is thickened. You can add in a cornstarch mixture (1 Tbsp cornstarch + 1 Tbsp cold water) to help thicken it further if you wish.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper (and pesto if you like).
  • Ladle into bowls and garnish with some freshly grated Parmesan.

Notes

If you can't find white Swiss chard, you can use the red variety - the color will not bleed out.
