Low Carb Chili Con Carne

The first recipe here is the quick and easy recipe using a Club House packet of seasoning. I used the slow cooker and it took about 2 hours on low to get it to the consistency that I wanted.

It is very filling, but it is not completely homemade.

I love to add in leftover meats as well, chicken breast etc. And, I always put cheese on top of the chili (this is not included in the nutritional information).

I know the pictures are not very enticing. These were the best ones I could muster.

-100g of deli chicken (or use desired amount of chicken breast)
-1/2 Teaspoon of salt

*From all of my experiences, slow cookers vary cook times. Make sure you keep an eye on it the first time you make it.
