Chicken and Black Bean Chili- 7 Weight Watchers PointsPlus

June 17, 2015 by Alisha Hughes

My husband loved this recipe. It is a hearty meal. The recipe says it serves four, but it served a lot more in our house, which made for great leftovers for the lunch the next day. It also says that one serving it 2 cups, but this is REALLY filling so I could only eat one cup…. in which case this chili ended up being more like 4 Weight Watchers PointsPlus points for me and stretched out for a couple of days of lunches for me and my husband.

PER SERVING (ABOUT 2 CUPS):  PointsPlus value: 7

This tasty chili works equally well with ground skinless turkey breast. You can also use other beans, such as chickpeas, navy beans, or pinto beans instead of the black beans, if you like.
