How To Make 0 Point Chili
I made this 0 point chili in the crock pot with 99% fat free ground chicken breast. Only 99% fat-free chicken breast is 0 points, so be sure that is the kind you use if you want to keep this dish 0 points. You can also use 99% fat free ground turkey breast.
Cook ground chicken in a skillet on the stove top, breaking it apart to create crumbles.
Toss all the ingredients and spices into the crock pot, give them a stir, and cook on high heat for 4 hours.
Tips For Making WW Zero Point Chili
Tip 1: If you like things spicy or mild, you can adjust the heat level by adjusting the chili powder to suit your taste.
Tip 2: For extra flavor, you can add fresh cilantro, lime, or a dollop of low-fat yogurt or sour cream before serving.
Tip 3: If you have the time, slow cook on low heat for 8 hours to enhance the flavors and tenderness of the ingredients.
Tip 4: Using ground beef in this WW chili recipe (even extra lean ground beef) will change the point value. Low-fat ground turkey or ground chicken is your best bet.
Tip 5: You can serve this Weight Watchers Chili Recipe with some shredded cheddar and still keep it at zero points. I found Kraft Cheese Fat Free Cheddar, which is 0 points for ¼ cup. I don't think you'd ever mistake the stuff for full-fat cheese, but it is very tasty when mixed in with warm chili.
How Do You Store Weight Watchers Chili?
Storing your zero-point chili is a breeze! Once the chili has cooled to room temperature, transfer it into an airtight container. These can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.
To freeze chili, portion it into freezer-safe bags or containers. Store for up to three months for a quick, healthy meal whenever needed. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave when ready to enjoy.
I thought the 0 point chili in the crockpot tasted even better the second day when reheated and served. No one will complain about leftovers when you serve this!
What Kinds Of Beans Do I Use In WW Zero Point Chili?
For this Weight Watchers zero-point chili, I recommend kidney beans since they keep their shape and add great texture. If all you have on hand are black beans or pinto beans, they will work as well. Just make sure to drain and rinse them before adding to the chili.
