Default 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.

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.

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.....)
