Since summer is here now and cooking in a hot kitchen is daunting, get out your slow cooker. I simply took some of our favorite chicken dinners that I normally make in the oven and tweaked them for the slow cooker.
These Weight Watchers Freestyle Slow Cooker Chicken Recipes are healthy low fat recipes that are very low in points too. Since chicken breasts are now one of our Freestyle foods, it makes keeping the points low so much easier.
If you did not see my slow cooker recipe from last month for Weight Watchers Freestyle Recipe for Slow Cooker Chicken, Broccoli & Rice Casserole, it is here. This recipe makes 4 large servings at a mere 1 point each!
Remember, slow cookers are not just for winter meals, make use of them in the summer too. Below are the printable recipes for delicious Weight Watchers Freestyle Slow Cooker Chicken Recipes, that will become family favorites while sticking to the program.
WW FREESTYLE SLOW COOKER CHICKEN RECIPES
Weight Watchers Freestyle Slow Cooker Spicy Chicken Fajitas
- 2 Pounds of Skinless Chicken Breasts, cut into strips
- 2 Medium Red Onion, sliced thin
- 1 Large Red Pepper, sliced into strips
- 1 Large Green Pepper, sliced into strips
- ¾ Cup of Salsa - Any 0 Point Salsa (Fat Free)
- 1 Teaspoon of Chili Powder
- 1 Teaspoon of Paprika
- ½ Teaspoon of Splenda
- 1 Teaspoon of Cornstarch
- ½ Teaspoon of Onion & Garlic Powder
- ¼ Teaspoon of Cayenne Pepper
- ½ Teaspoon of Ground Cumin
- Dash or 2 of Tabasco Sauce
- ⅛ cup of Water
- Vegetable Cooking Spray
- Spray a 6 quart or larger slow cooker with vegetable cooking spray.
- Put chicken strips in and pile vegetables on top of chicken.
- In a separate bowl whisk all the spices, Splenda, salsa and tabasco with ⅛ cup of water.
- Pour onto chicken and vegetables. Put lid on.
- Cook on low setting for 6 or 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours.
- During the last ½ hour of cooking, take lid off and stir. Leave lid off for the remainder of cooking time.
To keep this meal extremely low in points:
- Use Ole Mexican Foods Xtreme Wellness High Fiber Tortillas for just 1 Point;
- Use Fat Free Plain Greek Yogurt instead of sour cream for 0 Points;
- Just use 1/4 cup of Kraft Fat Free Shredded Cheddar Cheese for 0 Points instead of low fat or regular shredded cheese;
- If you love guacamole like I do, make this Avocado Free Guacamole instead for 0 Points! Just use Fat Free Plain Greek Yogurt instead of mayo. It is delicious.
*Also, if you cannot find Kraft Fat Free Shredded Cheeses where you live, I got you covered. You can substitute the fat free cheese with a reduced fat Cheddar Cheese (one that is about 3 Points for 1/4 cup). Though, it will no longer be 0 points per serving, it will still be extremely low.
