Slow Cooker White Bean Chili (WW 7 Plus Points)

Sadly we have had some sick people here at the house, husband with his teeth and my youngest with a flu bug. So it's soft foods and comfort foods at what better says that then a chili! I found this recipe on Slender Kitchen of Slow Cooker White Bean Chili. It was an easy recipe that everyone loved.


Ingredients
1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast
20 oz canned white beans, drained
1 onion, minced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 jalapeno (seeded for less heat), diced
2 poblano peppers (seeded for less heat), diced
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
2 tsp cumin
1 tsp oregano
4 cup low sodium chicken broth
1 Salt and pepper
1 lime
Directions
1
Option 1: Add everything to the slow cooker and cook on low for 4 hours. Remove chicken and shred. Add back in and serve.
2
Option 2: Add the onions, garlic, jalapeno, poblanos, cilantro, cumin, oregano, and 2 cups broth to a blender. Blend until smooth. Add this salsa, the chicken, beans, and remaining broth to the slow cooker. Cook on low for 4 hours and shred chicken when finished.

ALEXIS NOTES: I did the slower cooker version. I also like a thicker chili so I added a little cornstarch mixed with water to thicken it up. I also did some green chilies instead of poblano peppers.
Thanks for Stopping by!
