If you have special blood pressure diet needs, then chicken is a terrific choice for low cholesterol and low fat healthy low sodium cooking recipes. Chicken is a protein food which is moderately low in sodium, and for those following a low sodium diet, it is often recommended to eat the white chicken meat as opposed to other parts of the whole chicken. To reduce saturated fat and cholesterol intake, remove the skin from the poultry or chicken before eating.
If you like your chili recipes a little more spicy, you can try adding in more crushed red pepper flakes or one or more extra teaspoons of Kroger Chili Powder, which only adds 40mg of sodium per teaspoon to this low sodium cooking recipe. For a more traditional Salsa flavor, try Green Mountain Gringo Salsa (sodium content: 90mg per serving) which has a bit more sodium than the Salsa called for in this chili recipe, but still has about half the sodium content of other popular brands of salsa.
