How many Points are in this Weight Watchers Italian Chicken?

There are 4 Points in each serving of this Weight Watchers Italian chicken with potatoes and peppers! The recipe serves 4 so it also makes a great recipe for leftovers and lunches.

You could leave out the potatoes if you wanted to lower the points and just make the chicken your main dish to serve with more veggies on the side! All of the recipes I shared here at Midlife Healthy Living are calculated with the Weight Watchers online recipe creator.

It’s super easy to use, you just plug in all the ingredients and the serving size, and it will give you the points information. That being said, if you do decide to make any changes to the recipe or the ingredients you’ll need to recalculate the points for yourself to be sure you are tracking everything properly.

Nope, not at all! Here’s the recipe:

Next, add some more cooking spray and put in your peppers and potatoes. You’ll need to saute them until lightly browned, another 4-6 minutes.
