Weight Watchers White Chicken Chili with Salsa Verde

1 Tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
4 medium poblano peppers, seeded and diced
2 serrano chili peppers, seeded and pinced
1 Tbsp jarred minced garlic
1 Tbsp chili powder
2 tsp Kosher salt, or to taste
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp dried oregano
3 cups reduced sodium chicken broth
2 lbs uncooked skinless boneless chicken breast
45 oz canned cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
1/3 cup salsa verde
2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
1/3 cup fresh cilantro, minced

  1. Heat oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add onion and peppers; sauté, stirring often, until softened, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add garlic, chili powder, salt, cumin, coriander and oregano; stir and cook, 1 minute.
  2. Add broth, chicken and beans; increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, until chicken is cooked through, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate; let rest 5 minutes and then shred with two forks.
  3. Return shredded chicken to pot and stir in salsa verde, lime juice and cilantro; heat through.
