Chicken Chili - 27g Carbs, 5g Fiber, 1g Sugar

From: www.relish.com

Rotisserie chicken and canned garbanzo beans make this hearty chili an
easy meal.

This is a perfect follow-up to a dinner of rotisserie chicken. Make the
chicken stock from the chicken bones, and toss the leftover chicken in
the chili. Barley gives it lots of fiber. Look for bags of it next to
the rice.
