Weight Watchers Chicken Chili White Beans Recipe
This Zero Point White Chicken Chili is going to be a household favorite – whether you're on Weight Watchers or not. It's got big chunks of chicken, lots of veggies and is just a touch creamy. It's now my favorite winter soup!
I've made a Zero Point Turkey Chili – that's more like a "regular" chili an is tomato based but I've been really wanting a white chicken chili – with white beans – for sometime and this hits the spot. Plus – it's spicy!!!
I'm on the Green plan on Weight Watchers – after having started just before the first of the year. Unfortunately this isn't 0 on the Green – but it is 0 on the blue and purple plans.
How to make zero white chicken chili
I started by poaching chicken breasts – but you can also use a rotisserie chicken. From there – you just saute onions and celery then pour it all together. There's canned northern beans, green chiles, fire roasted corn, finely chopped kale, chicken broth and just a couple of seasonings. Then to make it creamier – after you remove the chicken chili from the heat – add the greek yogurt. Yum!
How to make white bean chicken chili thicker
There are a couple of ways to make this skinny white bean chicken chili thicker – first do NOT drain the beans – that liquid is thick – so it helps with the chili. You can also mix 1 Tbsp water and 1 Tbsp cornstarch in a bowl and make a slurry – then add that to your chili. I don't think you'll need to do that with my chili it was just right!
Can chili be frozen?
This super easy weight watchers chicken chili can definitely be frozen! I had a big bowl for dinner – then I packed up the rest in these freezer safe glass dishes. Now I've got lunches whenever I need them!
What to serve with chicken chili
I wanted to stick with the healthy route since I was having skinny white chicken chili and toasted a 100 calorie english muffin! But if you're want to indulge a little – try my garlic cheese toast! Or if you want more veggies – the Olive Garden Salad is always a hit!
