Weight Watchers Friendly 3 Bean Chicken Chili {0 Points!}

Looking for a filling zero Weight Watchers Point meal? This 3 Bean Chicken Chili is delicious. A bit of spice from chipotles, this soup is super flavorful and cooks up quickly in an Instant Pot or slow-cooker.

I’ve been on Weight Watchers for about 2 months now. It’s taking a bit to adjust to counting points, but I feel like I’m starting to get the hang of it. Soup is a favorite for lunch or dinner, so I’ve been experimenting with different low Freestyle point varieties. Since beans, chicken and most veggies are 0 points, it’s quite easy!

This week, it’s still a bit chilly outside (warming up this weekend, I think!), I was craving a comforting chili style soup. It’s has more broth than a regular chili and a kick of heat from a chipotle in adobo. You can find these smoked jalapeños in cans in the ethnic aisle. The pepper still have their seeds and have quite a bit of heat, so use them to taste. You can substitute and extra can of mild green chiles or a diced red pepper if you want!

3 Bean Chicken Chili

Looking for a filling zero Weight Watchers Point meal? This 3 Bean Chicken Chili is delicious. A bit of spice from chipotles, this soup is super flavorful and cooks up quickly in an Instant Pot or slow-cooker.

Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Boneless chicken breasts fresh or frozen

• 1 16 oz jar Salsa Verde
• 2 whole chipotle in adobo peppers (or less to taste) chopped (don't touch your eyes!)

Recipe Notes

This is 0 points until you add any toppers like cheese, chips or Greek yogurt. Great without, though! To freeze, put in portion sized baggies and lay flat on a cookie sheet. Good frozen for up to 9 months.

This is a super filling lunch on it’s own, or sometimes I’ll do a smaller bowl with a wrap on the side. I found these great 1 point wraps by Ole Mex at Walmart that are delicious paired with 0 point turkey, 3 points of avocado and veggies.
