Points-friendly White Chicken Chili

I’m loving all the new techie health tools I’ve discovered!  Tonight I am making White Chicken Chili.  I use Menus For Moms as a general menu planner (when I remember… this is another thing I need to work on!) and this was listed on the menu for last week. I work a menu one week back, because I just haven’t been able to coordinate my planning and my shopping perfectly.  It works! :D   Tonight’s dinner is simmering on the stove and I have just enough time to share my recipe with you.  I ran it through the Calorie Count Recipe Analyzer and got the points for it, too! While it is listed on the menu, I have used my own recipe for years:

WHITE CHICKEN CHILI

  • 3 cans of white beans or Great Northern beans
  • 2-1/2 cups of diced, cooked chicken
  • 2 cans of fat-free chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup dried onion (or 1 medium onion, chopped)
  • 1/2 a small can of diced green chiles (you could use a whole can- my husband isn’t a fan)
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp. cumin
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. oregano

Dump it all into a large sauce pan and simmer 45 minutes.  This was adapted from a crock pot recipe, and in that case you would put it on low for 8 hours or high for 4.  I like my soups and chilis thicker, so in the last few minutes (or last hour in the crockpot) I add a flour/water mixture to thicken it.

MAKES  6  2-POINT SERVINGS

    This came out as 4 points when I put it in the recipe builder :-(

    • Really? I did an ingredient by ingredient point check, added them all together and then divided by six servings, and 2 is what it came out at. And that is six servings that are about a cup and a half each. I don’t use WWOnline so I don’t have access to the official Recipe Builder any more, but I do have a points calculator that works fantastic. Hm.
