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.
FAQs For WW 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.
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.

I followed the recipe which was great but my instant pot kept displaying the word “burn” and the timer was going down. I think I cooked it for 4 hours but it was very dry.
Gina S says
Because this is slow cooker times not "instant pot".
Viktoria Sacker says
I should add that I used no salt added diced tomatoes and 99% fat free turkey. I also used a small can of green chilies since the tomatoes I had didn’t have green chilies in them. My husband said it was the best chili he has ever eaten!
Viktoria Sacker says
My husband and I just had this for lunch...best chili EVER! And, yes...zero points, even with the fat free cheese! Last night, I made the pizza recipe...pretty good...we added some cut up chicken fajita meat and mushrooms. And, I made the cheesecake last night and it is AWESOME! Thanks for your fabulous recipes!
Laura says
Made this chili with fat free ground turkey and I added a can of no salt added black beans. I entered the listed nutrition facts into the Weight Watchers app so that I could track it and it comes out to 3 points? Either way, it’s still low in points and super yummy! Thanks!
Christy says
I’m making this right now and I’m not sure about the canned tomatoes. The ingredient list says one can, but the direcions say two cans. I put in one can and a little water. Hoping for the best!
Debbie Weprin says
OMG - this is the best chili ever! Can't believe it's zero points. I used 99% ground turkey breast and seasoned black beans.

Catherine says
I made this recipe tonight and it was soooo delicious! It was packed with lots of flavor! I used ground turkey breast, skinless of course, and I also added a can of black beans and some frozen corn. All zero points! It was a hit in my house!
Vicky says
Glad it turned out well Catherine. Thanks for dropping by!
Libbi Moore says
I have made most of these! Excellent is all I can say. So easy too😀😀
Vicky says
Thank you Libbi.
Jaylin says
Kind of unfair to add cheese in the photo and still advertise it as 0 Point. Also, I see that the chicken is 99% fat free, but it and the canned kidney beans surely have a few points, don't they? My points calculator gave the ground chicken 16 pts and it doesn't mention canned kidney beans, but cooked kidney beans is 2 pts, and since canned beans have a lot of salt I gave them 2 pts as well. So if you divide that by 6 servings, that's 3 points, which is still excellent for a good bowl of chili.
Vicky says
Hi Jaylin, good questions. I mentioned in the post "You can serve this with some shredded cheddar and still keep it zero points. I found Kraft Cheese Fat Free Cheddar, which is 0 points for 1/4 of a 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." Canned Kidney beans are 0 points according to my Weight Watchers tracker and their website. The ground chicken I used was 99% fat free which my tracker and their website also brings up as zero points.
Teri says
Hi Vicky,
I can't wait to make this. Do you know what using ground turkey; 93/7% would do to the points or how I could find out?
Thank you!
Teri
Kelly Gibson says
I’m WW Freestyle, all beans and chicken breast meat are 0 points.
Sam Smith says
Kind of unfair for you to not read that she said 1/4 of a cup of fat free cheese is 0 points. Pretty sure she isn't your weight watchers app, check that before asking points.
Sue says
I'm on blue and this chili recipe is zero points. I use 99% fat free ground turkey and the rest of the ingredients are zero points.
