CHERYL'S WHITE BEAN CHICKEN CHILI - WW POINTS = 4
Something I just threw together today...4 points per serving if you can get 8 servings out of it! NOTE regarding the spices. I really don't measure these. I just kind of throw them in so the amounts listed can be adjusted per your tastes. By the way, the Cracker Girl All-Purpose Seasoning is something that I ordered online by way of a friend's recommendation. I imagine you can use whatever all-purpose seasoning blend that you prefer. :-)

WHITE BEAN CHICKEN CHILI
Ruby Tuesday inspired this recipe, I LOVE THEIR CHICKEN CHILLI !!! I threw this recipe together while on Phase 1 of the South Beach Diet. During the first phase, you're only allowed protein, vegetables & legumes, I thought this would be perfect. Being a former culinary student, I had to channel my palette to decide what spices would be the perfect combination, hope you enjoy, my family & I sure did!

Steps:
- Clean and wash chicken breasts. Season with Paprika, Sazon & Abodo. Let sit for 20 minutes while you prepare everything else.
- In a soup pot, heat olive oil over medium heat.
- Cook Chicken Breasts thoroughly, approximately 6-8 minutes on each side. Don't let them get too brown, you'll be shredding them later! Once cooked, remove from pot and set aside to cool.
- In the same pot, still over medium heat, add Cooking Wine to deglaze the pot. Add Onion, Garlic and Ginger, saute until the Onions are translucent.'.
- Add Cumin, Oregano, and Cayenne Pepper to the mix and saute for about 3-5 minutes, until fragrant.
- Add Chopped Green Chillies & Jalapenos, with juice (if using) and saute for another 3-5 minutes, 2 minutes if not using Jalapenos.
- Add Beans, 3 Cups of Hot Water and the Boullion Cubes, increase heat, bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for 45 minutes.
- While that's simmering, shred the Chicken Breasts.
- After 45 minutes, add shredded chicken to the mixture along with the remaining 1 cup of water. Let simmer for 30 minutes.
- Season with salt & pepper, if needed.
- Serve chili in desired serving ware & top with a dallop of fat-free sour cream and cheese.

Tips:

- Add more or less chili powder or cayenne pepper to taste, depending on your desired level of spiciness.
- Serve the chili with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, or diced avocado.
- For a thicker chili, mash some of the beans with a fork before adding them to the pot.
