Chicken- Tomato Chowder

This is from my weight watchers cook book.
If you are doing points it is 5 points per serving.

Makes 4 Servings

4 teaspoons olive oil
2 carrots thinly sliced
1 small onion chopped
2 celery stalks chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 - 14 1/2 ounce of can of crushed tomatoes
2 cups of low sodium chicken broth
2 medium all purpose potatoes peeled and cubed
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
1/2 pound skinless boneless chicken breast cubed
1/2 cup caned cannelli beans rinsed and drained
2 tablespoon chopped parsley

In a medium sauce pans, heat 2 teaspoons of oil. Saute chicken for 6 mins then add (the rest of the oil if needed )carrots,onions, celery and garlic. Cook until softened, 5-7 mins. Stir in tomatotes and broth; bring to boil. Add potatoes and spices. Cook for 15 mins then add beans. and parsley. Cook an additional 5 min on simmer.

This receipe works well in the crockpot. Cook your chicken and onion together, then put all the ingredients into the crockpot. You can also use any kind of precooked chicken.
