Slow Cooker Chicken Chili with Greens and Beans - 32.5g Carbs, 9.6g Fiber

{Suggestions: as written this is extremely high in sodium. To cut back
be sure to rinse canned beans well or use some fresh cooked ones that
you may have done previously and have in the freezer (thaw before
putting in the slow cooker). Omit the "1 1/2 tsp salt", use low
sodium chicken broth or your own homemade. Substitute no salt added
tomatoes as well as no salt butter (if using)... you can also use olive oil.
Take care, Gloria)

"Beans, greens, and chicken come together with tomatoes in a thick
and creamy broth. This recipe, as with most chili recipes, doesn't
need to be exact and can be altered to fit your taste or what you
have on hand."
