WW Chicken Sausage Stew

Is this a healthy chicken sausage stew?
Absolutely! This chicken stew is very satisfying but it’s not bogged down by the calories and fat that you’d get with a traditional stew recipe. Chicken sausage is a great way to punch up the flavor of any dish without adding unnecessary fat, points, or calories.

Can I make this WW Chicken Sausage Stew in the Crockpot?
You sure can! You know that we love a good Crockpot recipe here at Midlife Healthy Living. This stew recipe is no different…I actually prefer it in the slow cooker because everything has extra time to really meld together. This is an amazing Crockpot recipe because it’s just dump, stir, and cook. Put everything in your slow cooker, stir, cover, and cook on low for 6 hours!
How do I make this healthy sausage stew on the stove?
- In a large stock pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until done, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from pot but keep warm.
- Add the onion, celery, and bell pepper to the pot and heat, stirring often, until tender.
- Add tomato paste, tomatoes, chicken stock, and seasonings to pot. Return chicken to pot and add sausage. Bring stew to a boil.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and add zucchini on top. Cover and cook about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid burning.
Is this a low carb stew recipe?
There are about 14 grams of carbohydrates in each serving of this chicken sausage stew. For a very hearty recipe I think it’s not a bad trade off in terms of calories and carbs. For those of you on Keto diets you may have to make some minor adjustments to bring those carbs down just a bit. You could also just increase the serving size to 10 or 12 portions since they are quite generous portion sizes at 8 servings!
Can I meal prep with this chicken sausage stew?
Definitely! This is an amazing healthy dinner recipe that you can prep in advance. It reheats really nicely and travels well for lunches or dinners throughout the week. If I make a batch in the slow cooker at the beginning of the week we have some leftovers for the whole week! At just 4 Points per serving I know I can always fit it into my daily plan without having to watch my points or save them!
