WHITE CHICKEN CHILI WITH SALSA VERDE

Fresh poblano and serrano chiles are to thank for this chili's vibrant, warming flavor. It's the perfect dish to serve on a chilly winter night when you need a hearty bowl of chicken, veggies, and beans. The chili also comes together in just one pot for added convenience and super-easy cleanup. As well as the chiles, chicken, and beans, it features a medley of onions, garlic, chili powder, cumin, coriander, oregano, salsa verde, lime juice, and fresh cilantro. You can freeze any leftovers in 1-cup containers for easy, portion-controlled lunches for another time. Leftovers make a great filling for soft tacos or burritos.

CHERYL'S WHITE BEAN CHICKEN CHILI - WW POINTS = 4



Cheryl's White Bean Chicken Chili - Ww Points = 4 image

Something I just threw together today...4 points per serving if you can get 8 servings out of it! NOTE regarding the spices. I really don't measure these. I just kind of throw them in so the amounts listed can be adjusted per your tastes. By the way, the Cracker Girl All-Purpose Seasoning is something that I ordered online by way of a friend's recommendation. I imagine you can use whatever all-purpose seasoning blend that you prefer. :-)
