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! 
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.
