Weight Watchers Chicken Recipes #2

SMOTHERED CHICKEN WITH PIEROGIES

1 dozen  Mrs. T’s frozen Potato and  Cheddar Cheese pierogies
1 can (10 3/4 oz) low-fat cream of chicken soup
1 can (4 oz) sliced mushrooms, drained
1 cup frozen peas
2 cups cubed or shredded cooked chicken

Preheat  oven  to 350. Spray a 2-quart  casserole with cooking spray. Thaw pierogies in boiling  water for 5 minutes, drain, and  place in casserole dish.

In a large saucepan, combine soup, mushrooms, peas and  chicken. Cook, stirring, about 5 minutes or until heated through. Pour over pierogies. Bake 15 minutes.

4 servings, 7 POINTS each

A pierogie is like a Polish ravioli, a dough pillow filled with flavored mashed potatoes. Look for them  in the frozen foods section of your store. There are several kinds you can try, but READ THE BOX. Not all pierogies have  the same points. Feel free to use other kinds in this weight watchers chicken recipe, but make  certain to re-calculate your points based on the kind of pierogies you use.

Well this one is a classic, of course we need to include it with our Weight Watchers Chicken Recipes:

Weight Watchers Chicken Recipes #3

CHICKEN POT PIE

1 cup Reduced Fat Bisquick
1/2 cup skim milk
1/4 cup egg  substitute (or 3 egg  whites)
2 cups frozen mixed veggies, thawed
Optional: I usually throw in a jar of sliced mushrooms
2 cups cooked, chopped white chicken meat
2 cans fat-free Cream of Mushroom soup

Preheat  oven  to 400. Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray. Mix together veggies, chicken, and  soup. Pour into casserole dish. In another bowl, mix Bisquick, milk, and egg.  Pour over the top of the chicken mixture. Bake for about 30 minutes or until the crust is golden.

Good for using up left-over chicken. DH loves it!

This recipe came from the WW Magazine cookbook “6 O’Clock Solutions” containing more weight watchers chicken recipes.

CROCKPOT SOUR CREAM SALSA CHICKEN

4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves (3 oz each)

2 tablespoons cornstarch (someone said this wasn’t necessary)
1/4 cup light sour cream

Spray the crockpot with cooking spray. Add  the chicken breasts. Sprinkle with Taco Seasoning. Top with salsa. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. When ready to serve, remove the chicken from the pot. Place about 2 T cornstarch in a small amount of water.  Stir well. Stir the cornstarch mixture into salsa

4 servings, 4 POINTS each

Weight Watchers Chicken Recipes #6

HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN

3/4 cup light honey  mustard dressing
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
2 tsp dill weed, freshly chopped
1 medium scallion, finely sliced (or finely chopped onion or chopped green  onion)
1 cup corn flake crumbs
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (four 4oz halves)

Preheat  oven  to 425. Coat a baking pan  with cooking spray. In a small bowl, combine honey  mustard dressing, salt, pepper, dill and  scallions. Remove 1/3 cup of the mixture and  set it aside. Put corn flake crumbs into a shallow bowl. Dip the chicken breasts into the honey  mustard mixtures and  then into the corn flake crumbs. Place each breast into the baking pan. Bake uncovered until the chicken is golden
and  no longer  pink inside, about 15 minutes. Drizzle remaining honey  mustard dressing mixture over the chicken breasts and  serve.

4 servings, 7 POINTS each

I used O’Charley’s Lite Honey Mustard dressing for this, and  it turned  out great. Do not forget to coat the pan  with spray – otherwise the chicken will burn on the bottom and stick to the pan!  I used dried dill weed and  it didn’t seem to add anything. I used the remaining honey  mustard dressing as a dip instead of a drizzle.

Weight Watchers Chicken Recipes #7

TERIAKI CHICKEN

4 chicken breasts
6 TBS soy sauce
6 TBS honey
3 TBS white vinegar
1 1/2 tsp dried thyme
1 1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp ground allspice
1 tsp pepper

Preheat  oven  to 375°. Combine soy sauce, honey,  vinegar, thyme,  paprika, cayenne pepper, allspice and  pepper in a shallow baking dish; mix well. Pierce both  sides of each chicken breast w/a fork. Place in baking dish; turn chicken several times using tongs. Bake chicken, basting several time with sauce, for 30 min.

Weight Watchers Chicken Recipes #8

MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN AND COUSCOUS

1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 1/4 cups uncooked couscous
1 large sweet red pepper cut into 1 inch pieces (I cut strips)
1/2 cup sliced green  onions (approximately 2 large)
1 /2 tsp garlic powder
12 oz cooked chicken breast, cut into 1 inch pieces
½ cup red wine vinegar
1 1/2 tsp dried basil or oregano

Bring broth  to a boil in a small saucepan. Add  the couscous. Cover  and  remove from the heat.  Let stand 5 minutes.

While couscous cooks, combine red pepper and  green  onions in a bow.  Cover loosely with plastic wrap  and  microwave on High for 4 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender. Drain and  sprinkle with garlic powder.

Fluff couscous with a fork. Add  couscous, chicken, vinegar and  basil to the cooked vegetables. Toss well. Cover  with the plastic wrap  and  microwave on High for 1 – 2 minutes or until heated. Toss again and  serve immediately.

5 servings, 5 POINTS each

The vinegar sounds strange, but it gives a nice Middle Eastern tang to the dish. Otherwise it would be pretty  bland.

If you aren’t  familiar with couscous, it’s a tiny pasta from the Middle East that  cooks up very quickly like instant rice. Be sure to add enough liquid to cause it to swell up to its full size.

Weight Watchers Chicken Recipes #9

BALSAMIC ORANGE GRILLED CHICKEN

4 small chicken breast fillets, skim removed (about 4 oz each)
1 orange, juiced
1/3 cup Balsamic vinegar
1 tsp minced garlic
1/2 head of butter lettuce, washed and  dried
2 Lebanese cucumbers, sliced lengthways (I think regular cucumbers will work fine)
1 punnet cherry tomatoes, halved (I think that’s a small grocery store box of cherry or grape tomatoes)
1 medium avocado, thinly sliced
1/3 cup WW Italian dressing (use any light Italian dressing)

Combine chicken, orange juice, vinegar and  garlic in a bowl. Marinate the chicken for 15 minutes or as time permits. Heat a grill or barbecue. Cook the chicken, brushing often  with the Balsamic marinade.

In a salad bowl, combine the lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes and  avocado slices.

Drizzle with the salad dressing. Slice the cooked chicken and  serve over or with the salad.

PARMESAN CHICKEN CUTLETS

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 Tbsp Italian-style dried bread crumbs

1/8 tsp paprika
4 (4oz) boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Preheat  oven  to 400. In a ziplock bag, combine cheese, bread crumbs and  paprika. Shake well. Pour crumb mixture onto  a plate.

Bake until chicken is cooked, about 20-25 minutes.
