Does anyone here have recipe builder? Chicen chili recipe!

  • I have a wonderful chicken chili recipe I used to make all the time, but I have no idea of the points. Can anyone find them out for me? I've tried just adding the ingredients, but I think I had to be way off!

    Chicken Chili
    2 (15 oz) cans navy beans
    1 cup FF chicken broth
    1/4 cup diced onion
    1 yellow bell pepper
    1/2 (7 oz)can green chilis
    2 tsp cumin
    1/2 tsp salt
    1/2 tsp minced garlic
    1 Tbsp oregano
    3 boneless/skinless chicken breasts (can be frozen) - about 2 lbs
    1 (15 oz) can of corn

    Mix beans (undrained), broth, onion, peppers, garlic and spices in crockpot. Add breasts. Cook all day on low. Remove and shred chicken and return to pot with 1 can corn - drained. Heat corn through.

    This is T-riffic with tortilla chips or fritos.
  • 2 (15 oz) cans navy beans - (not sure sorta guessing but use the nuritional info) - 10 points
    1 cup FF chicken broth - 0 points
    1/4 cup diced onion - 0 points
    1 yellow bell pepper - 0 points
    1/2 (7 oz)can green chilis - 0 points
    2 tsp cumin - 0 points
    1/2 tsp salt - 0 points
    1/2 tsp minced garlic - 0 points
    1 Tbsp oregano - 0 points
    3 boneless/skinless chicken breasts (can be frozen) - about 2 lbs - (cooks up to roughly 26 ounces) 26 points
    1 (15 oz) can of corn - 2 points (max probably 1.5)

    32 points for the whole recipe / number of servings = points per serving.
  • Thank you very much! I get 38 by your numbers...but that's still pretty good. Heck, even if you only get six servings it's 6.3...I'll have to make it and see how many servings I really get.
  • This is only one way to do the points for recipes. I guess I was sort of rushed when I added but still.

    The best think is to accurately weigh your chicken and go by the nutritional info on the label if it comes with one. Because I get 96% fat free boneless, skinless breastst that are 4 points for 6 ounces.
  • lilion can cook this in a pot for 2 hrs and cut up chicken. glen
  • I've never made this any way but what I've posted. I my crock-pot. But I don't see any reason why you couldn't. I'd thaw the chicken and cut it up in advance if I were making it stove-top so you wouldn't have any problem getting it cooked all the way through.

    I should also mention, I'm saying that three breasts are 2 lbs...now that I think about it, that sounds awfully high. When you weigh them frozen they weigh more than thawed, but usually there are 6 breasts in a 3 lb bag...so probably it's more like 1 1/2 lbs, which would lower the points even more.

    Thanks again Kelly!
