This yummy low sodium chili is a little different from the standard variety, thanks to the addition of corn, meaty chunks of chicken and the virtual absence of tomatoes – save for the paste. My husband (the chili connoisseur) declared it “Delicious.” To be perfectly honest he didn’t say much else, he was too busy cleaning his bowl. Partner with some homemade cornbread for a truly heavenly meal. Recipe adapted from Kitchen Basics Healthy Cooking with Stock.
