Peasant Stew


After posting the comfort food "Spinach and Black Bean Enchilada" I thought it only fair to post a more figure friendly dish. I know the name "Peasant Stew" isn't catchy but it is a wonderful dish for many reasons. Let me count the ways...
1)It is very tasty
2)It is made in a crock pot, need I say more?
3)It is great left over as most soups and stews are
4)Oh, it gets even better...for those of you on Weight Watchers...a serving is only 4 points, now that's incredible!!! Enjoy!!
Ingredients:
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
6 chicken thighs (about 1 1/2 pounds), skinned
1 cup chopped onion
1 (14.5-ounce) can Mexican-style stewed tomatoes with jalapeƱo peppers and spices, undrained
1 (4.5-ounce) can chopped green chiles, undrained
1 (15-ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream

Preparation:
Combine cumin, salt, and pepper; sprinkle over chicken.
Place chicken in an electric slow cooker; stir in onion, tomatoes, and chiles. Cover with lid; cook on high-heat setting for 3 hours. Stir in beans. Cover; cook on high-heat setting 1 hour.
Place 1 chicken thigh in each of 6 soup bowls; ladle 1 1/4 cups stew into each bowl. Top each serving with 2 teaspoons cilantro and 2 teaspoons sour cream.
Yield: 6 servings
