Need to spice up your weekly meal prep? If so, this roundup of Weight Watchers chicken recipes should seriously help you out!
Since most of my recipes are focused around macros and flexible eating, I reached out for a little help putting this roundup together. You’ll find a mix of my recipes and recipes from nine other WW friendly food bloggers.
The roundup is divided into Smart Point totals, from 0 to 5 Smart Points (on the blue plan). The images in each section are in the same order of the recipe list, so you can put a recipe face with its name.
Weight Watchers Chicken Recipes with 0 Smart Points
- Carolina BBQ Crockpot Chicken (chicken only – recipe includes a 0 Smart Point spicy white coleslaw)
- 3 Bean Chicken Chili from Dash of Evans
- Slow Cooker Chicken Fajita Soup from Cook Eat Go
While I’m still familiarizing myself with the WW system, there seems to be a ton of free ingredients that are loaded with flavor. The recipes above are perfect examples of how you can add tons of volume and up the deliciousness factor of otherwise bland foods like chicken breast.
Update: My homemade chicken breakfast sausage patties and copycat Chick-Fil-A grilled nuggets both have 0 SmartPoints as well!
Weight Watchers Chicken Recipes with 1 Smart Point
- Instant Pot Buffalo Chicken
- Crispy Pineapple Chipotle Crockpot Chicken (chicken only – recipe includes 5 Smart Point tostadas)
- Buffalo Chicken Bites
- Pan Fried Tenders
The chicken recipes in this section are great examples of how to use dry spices and low calorie ingredients like buffalo sauce or chipotle peppers to take chicken up a notch. You’ll also find links in the buffalo chicken bites recipe to cheeseburger bites and taco bites that can be made with ground chicken as well.
Update: My air fried sweet chili chicken meatballs, garlic parmesan air fryer chicken tenders, and ground chicken chorizo are three more great 1 Smart Point recipes!
Weight Watchers Chicken Recipes with 2 Smart Points
- Caprese Chicken Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms from My Crazy Good Life
- Spicy Popcorn Chicken

WW Chicken Recipes with 3 Smart Points
