One Person White Chicken Chili

Several of my friends live alone and are always asking for one person meals. A tiny little pot of one person chicken chili fits the bill! It has all the flavor of a large pot of soup without the dreaded leftovers. Plus, it doesn’t become an unrecognizable and forgotten frozen meal 6 months down the road.

This chili offers many benefits. It is low in calories. It has a decent amount of fiber and a generous amount of protein. Overall, one person chicken chili provides a pretty satisfying bowl of soup for a single person to enjoy!

God provides so many delicious items for us to enjoy, doesn’t he?

I get excited just thinking about all the wonderful things you and I enjoy on a daily basis. We’ll have energy to do what he calls us to do. We will also find comfort knowing he is with us when we do it.

You have multiplied, O Lord my God,
    your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us;
    none can compare with you!
I will proclaim and tell of them,
    yet they are more than can be told.

Psalm 40: 5
