How many Weight Watchers Points in Fiesta Chicken?

Everything in this recipe is zero points! That means you can have this great Fiesta Chicken recipe for free on Weight Watchers Plan.  I would use the opportunity to top this recipe with my favorite items for a few points. The idea of Weight Watchers is to find a balance. Eating only zero points foods won’t get you the results you want to see. Add some tortilla chips to the top, some low fat cheese, or even some avocado for a nice balanced meal. 

Which WW Program are these points for?

WW has definitely changed from 2020 to now. They went from three to one plan to multiple plans and back to one plan again. So in 2023, we have just plain old “POINTS.”

• Be sure to calculate the points value of the foods and recipes you eat in the app.
• Always add ingredients and serving sizes and don’t rely on the nutrition facts in the recipe.
• Accuracy will come from the information you input on the app.

Can I make this into a healthy chicken soup? 

Yes you can! This fiesta chicken is such a versatile dish. You can definitely make this into a fiesta chicken crock pot recipe as well.  Add an additional 3 cups of vegetable or chicken broth, I’d serve the soup with tortilla strips or crackers. You can also top this with avocado, green onions, nonfat plain greek yogurt, or fat free sour cream. Cheese is also good!

Is there a fiesta chicken crock pot recipe? 

If you want to make this in the crockpot you can easily do that by combining all the ingredients and cooking for about 6 hours on low or until chicken is cooked through. You could make this fiesta chicken crock pot friendly by doing the chicken ahead of time, makes it so quick and easy to throw it together and just put it on low or warm for a few hours until it’s all combined and ready to go.
