Help with points for a recipe

  • I made a chicken veggie stew

    1.25 pounds skinless chicken breast tenders
    1/2 a large can of v8
    1 small can chicken broth
    4 celery stalks
    1 16 ounce package frozen whole kerrnel corn
    2 cups baby carrots
    1 medium head of cabbage

    I am thinking around 3 points per cup? Very low fat and high fiber.
  • BTW I am attending my first meeting on Monday morning and just trying to have everything in order for something quick and tasty to eat.
  • I put it into the recipe builder and it said the entire recipe is 31 points. How many servings is it? 8 servings is 3 pts, 6 servings is 4 pts.
  • THanks I will divide it into 8. It made a really huge pot of stew
    Trying to think ahead and incorporate veggies into my day.
  • Can someone direct me to the recipe builder?
  • If you didn't use corn, it would lower the points. It sounds really good. I'd probably add a can of tomatoes instead of the corn. You are very wise to plan ahead...it's one of the keys to success.
  • Susan,
    Thanks for the tip about the corn. I was just trying to throw together a quick, healthy lunch as a staple for this week. It has really helped to get those veggies in. I might switch corn out for green beans next time.

    (I kind of revised one of the Hopkins County Stew Recipes and subed cabbage for potatoes.....)
