Mediterranean Chili
Fusilli was inspired to make this when they didn't have the ingredients she was looking for at the local store. I'm calling it mediterranean chili because that's how it turned out. I think this could also work with fish instead of chicken.
• Heat olive oil in a pan. Once hot, brown the chicken breasts (bone in) on both sides. Remove and set aside.
• In the same pan, sauté onions and then add red pepper
• Add garlic, white wine and chicken. Turn temp. to low and cover until the chicken is cooked through
• Remove chicken, set aside to cool
• Add white beans and tomato, simmering until heated through
• Shred the chicken, adding it back with chopped Kalamata olives and cilantro
• Top with crumbled feta cheese and serve

Cannellini & Lentil Soup
There's still time for some comfort food before the weather turns. This hearty soup has cannellini beans, lentils, fennel, red pepper, onion, bacon & spinach. Perfect for a crispy anchovy bruschetta.
Healthy, delicious, and it made enough to take leftovers for lunch.

Greens & Beans
Fusilli sent me this recipe, which was perfect for the detox. It's simple to make and it gave me a chance to use the beet greens and rapini I had in the fridge. Mine turned out a bit soupy, so I took the left overs and the remaining chicken stock and puréed it to make soup. It was good, but it seems like a side in search of a main. Next time I'll have it with Salmon.
