White Chicken Chili – 5 Weight Watchers Points Plus Value
So the last few days have been rainy, chilly (pardon the pun), and dreary.
Especially in this type of weather, I really want to just sit on the couch with a big fluffy blanket and eat something warm and hearty.
But traditional chili with the red beans, tomato sauce and ground beef isn’t totally my thing, so I opted to make white chicken chili instead.

So I dug through my recipe box to see if I already had any white chicken chili recipes on hand.
Lo and behold, I found one that I had ripped out of a November 2008 issue of Prevention Magazine.

The Prevention Magazine recipe instructed to transfer everything to a slow cooker and cook it on low for 4 to 6 hours and then uncover it and cook it for an additional hour.
But I didn’t have time for all that.
So I just covered it and simmered it for about 40 minutes or so.
The Verdict
It was delicious.
My husband loved it.
Since my son is uber picky, I picked out some chunks of chicken for him and served him the chicken with a side of broccoli and noodles.
Happily, he ate it up.

The aroma smelled up the entire house.
That, along with some hot french bread, was exactly what our home needed on a cold, wet, football Sunday.

Now if the Redskins could get their act together and start winning some football games, our Sundays would be just right!
Enjoy!
