If ever there was a hale-and-hearty dish, it would be this gathering of beans, chicken, and ham in one happy pot! High in fiber, rich in protein, it's like a cozy hug from someone who loves you.
10 ounces (one 16-ounce can) great northern beans, rinsed and drained
2 cups (one 16-ounce can) Healthy Request Chicken Broth
1 cup (5oz) diced cooked chicken breast
Full 1/2 cup (3 ounces) diced Dubuque 97% fat-free ham or any extra-lean ham
1 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Place great northern beans in a medium saucepan. Mash gently with a fork. Add chicken broth, chicken, ham, carrots, onion, parsley flakes, and black pepper. Bring mixture to a boil. Lower heat, over and simmer for 20 minutes or until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.
