1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies (0 points)

2 cloves garlic, minced (0 points)
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth (0 points)
1 tsp ground cumin (0 points)
1 tsp chili powder (0 points)
1/2 tsp ground oregano (0 points)
1/2 tsp ground coriander (0 points)
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional) (0 points)
Salt and black pepper to taste (0 points)
1/4 cup fat-free Greek yogurt (1 point) – for creaminess
Juice of 1 lime (0 points)
Chopped fresh cilantro for garnish (optional) (0 points)
Cooking spray (0 points)
Instructions:
Prepare the Chicken:
If not already cooked, cook the chicken breast in a pot of boiling water until fully cooked, then shred it with two forks.
Sauté the Aromatics:
Spray a large pot with cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Combine the Ingredients:
Add the shredded chicken, great northern beans, cannellini beans, diced green chilies, and chicken broth to the pot.
Stir in the cumin, chili powder, oregano, coriander, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper.
Simmer the Chili:
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add Creaminess:
Stir in the fat-free Greek yogurt and lime juice, mixing well to combine. This will add creaminess to the chili without adding many points.
Serve:
Ladle the chili into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired.
