Following Weight Watchers eating plan and feeling in a chicken recipe rut? Looking for something new? This Weight Watchers Chicken Recipe Round Up contains over 50 of the most delicious, healthy chicken recipes that you have to try all with Weight Watcher Freestyle points! There is a section for every cooking method and preference. Don’t eat chicken? Most can be subbed with turkey, too! This post contains affiliate links to products I’m obsessed with.
Confession: There is no right way to eat healthy.
I know, that’s a pretty big statement coming from someone who founded their blog on the 21 Day Fix portion control system. I also know I have a HUGE Beachbody following, but please hear me out.
There are countless reasons why different programs work for different people- medical, psychological, emotional- and that has to be okay. Weight loss vs. weight maintenance can play a role in what works for different people at different times, too!
There are tons of my readers who follow Weight Watchers. And Keto. And Gluten Free. And even some Whole 30ers.
The bottom line for me? I am cooking healthy, delicious food and sharing it with you. You do what works for you. #nojudgement
If a recipe fits into your “plan”, awesome. If it doesn’t, I hope you share it with someone who will love it.
With this sentiment in mind, this post adapts my original 21 Day Fix Ultimate Healthy Chicken Recipe Roundup to include only those recipes that currently contain Weight Watchers points. (Remember WW friends, I’m slowly but surely adding points to all my old recipes!)
Since chicken sometimes gets a bad reputation for being boring I wanted to highlight all the ways it can be exciting and YUMMY!
I rounded up 50+ tried and true healthy chicken (or sub turkey) recipes. Scroll to find salads, apps, lunches and dinners. I’ve also broken it down by cooking method- one skillet, Instant Pot, Air Fryer, stove top, oven, crock pot, and grilling ideas.
Take out a pen and paper, make a new Pinterest board, or start a note in your phone- because you’re gonna need a place to remember all of these new chicken ideas!
Enjoy!
