Warm up with this chicken chili on cold winter days. Ross serves it with a spoonful of low-fat sour cream, some chopped scallions, a lime wedge, and a few shakes of hot sauce. Other great garnishes include nonfat plain yogurt, low-fat shredded cheese, tortilla strips, and/or thinly sliced radishes. Freeze any leftovers in pint-size containers for easy, reheatable meals another day.
