Great Weight Watchers Recipe for White Chicken Chili

I'm making this today in the crockpot. It was so simple to prepare and smells great cooking! It's also a core recipe from Weight Watchers, so it's very healthy. I'm thinking about serving it with some type of homemade bread or muffins.
Crockpot White Chicken Chili (Core)

1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
1 large onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 can (14 oz.) chicken broth
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp red pepper sauce, such as Tabasco
2 cans (15-16 ounces each) great northern beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (15 ounces) white shoepeg corn, drained
3 T lime juice
2 T chopped fresh cilantro

Place the first eight ingredients (through red pepper sauce) in crockpot for 4-5 hours on low, or until chicken is done. Remove and shred chicken. Return chicken to crockpot. Add remaining ingredients to crockpot; cover and cook on low for 15-20 minutes, or until beans and corn are hot.

Optional condiments could include, chopped black olives, guacamole, sour cream, shredded cheese, and salsa.
