Crock Pot Weight Watchers Chili
I made this WW chili recipe that I found on my new favorite website, Pinterest.com. I have been an arts and crafts making fool this past week thanks to my new obsession with the website. I have a few more recipes I am going to post here soon. It's been a great couple weeks having Bryan home from work. The circumstances were less than favorable (truck needed new transmission/engine), but I love him and I love spending time with him.
This recipe is great if you are following the Weight Watchers diet. I am just trying to eat a clean, healthy diet so I figured that this would be a great recipe. Bryan, who is definitely not dieting, enjoyed it as well. Basically this recipe would be great for anyone who likes a good chili, not too heavy but just right.
If you don't have chicken on hand you could easily use a lean ground beef or turkey.
*I lost the website link I got this recipe from so this is from memory...
3 chicken breasts (I used 2 cups of diced chicken I had frozen)
1 can black beans, drained
1 can kidney beans, drained
1 small onion, diced
2 cans chilis and tomatoes (I only had one on hand)
2 cans of tomato sauce (I used 1 can of diced that I liquified in the blender PLUS about a cup of water to make up for the extra liquid)
1 can of corn (you can also roast a couple ears of corn on the grill or in the oven)
1 packet low-sodium taco seasoning
chili powder to taste (I used about 1 tablespoon)
salt and pepper to taste (I also added a little bit of garlic powder)
Cilantro (garnish)
Sour cream (garnish)
Cheese (garnish)(I used light)
Rice
Combine all ingredients (except chicken) and combine well in crock pot. Pound out chicken breasts and put in the crock pot.
Cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours (I cooked on high for a couple hours and low for a couple hours).
A few hours into cooking your chicken should be done. Remove it from the chili, let cool, and then shred and place back in chili.
If you are using shredded chicken like I did throw into mix about an hour before serving.
Garnish with fresh cilantro, sour cream, cheese, and rice (optional).
ENJOY!
