Low Carb Cha Cha White Chicken Chili

What is Cha Cha White Chicken Chili? I never heard of it until one of my daughters came home and said her girlfriend had made it for supper when she was over for a visit. I looked it up on the internet to find out where it came from and I could not find any answers so I looked it up and used the recipe from allrecipes.com and converted into a Low Carb Cha Cha White Chicken Chili.

I thought white beans kind of have the texture of cooked cauliflower so let’s make a Low Carb Cha Cha White Chicken Chili with Cauliflower, and is it good or what? The carb count has lowered drastically and we have a chili that you don’t have to feel guilty about eating. I question as it being chili, it looks more like soup but it has a nice flavor in fact it’s even better the next day.

I cut back on the peppers because my husband does not like it so hot that his mouth is on fire so I will give both options, hot and milder.

So let’s get started!
