Chicken Corn "Chowder" - WW points = 5/serving

[shanendoah]

Putting this here so I can find it again. I made this this weekend, having used a recipe I found online as a base, but really changed things up to get the flavor I wanted, and I'm really happy with it.

1.5lbs boneless/skinless chicken thighs
4 heaping cups of cut up potatoes (~1/2" pieces)
4 cups vegetable broth
2 cans southwestern style corn
1/2 can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
a few handfuls of baby carrots

Throw in crock pot on high for 4-5 hours. Pull out the chicken and shred it, then put it back in before serving.
Salt and pepper to taste. Top with shredded cheese (optional) Makes about 10 servings.

Without the cheese, the entire thing is 48 Weight Watchers points. So depends on how many servings you divide it into, but 10-12 seems reasonable based on how much I made. If you are judicious with your shredded cheese, you should be able to keep it at 5 points (assuming 10 servings).

I think you could make this more chowder like and use an immersion blender at the end to make it creamier, though I'd suggest pulling out the chipotle peppers before doing that.

I think you could also make it without the chicken, or even with less chicken, but I eat very little protein during the day, so I really need to make sure I have it in my dinner.
