🥘 Ingredients

There are quite a few Slow Cooker Mexican Chicken recipes out there, but I love this one because it's quick and easy, using:

• chicken breast
• canned beans
• corn
• salsa * I use salsa instead of canned tomatoes because salsa gives it more flavor
• taco seasoning

💭 Top tip

I throw the chicken breasts in whole and frozen, then chop them up afterwards. But you can do that in advance if you prefer. You can also shred the chicken if that's your preference. I don't do this recipe as shredded chicken, as it takes additional time.

This Mexican Chicken Breast recipe is a great way to mix things up! When you're following the Weight program you end up eating a lot of chicken and it can get real boring real quick.

📖 Variations

• This recipe also makes a great filling for chicken tacos (with low point tortillas)
• It can be served over rice, cauliflower rice or eaten on its own.
• You can spruce it up with toppings like fat-free sour cream and low-fat cheddar cheese as well (just adjust for points).

I love slow cooker recipes, but especially ones that are Weight Watchers friendly! My Slow Cooker Chicken Stew is another one of my favorite Weight Watchers Slow Cooker Recipes. It's a rich, creamy and hearty stew that's not only pure comfort food, but it's quick to make.

I usually overindulge on the weekend and need to balance it all out during the week and that's typically the day before weigh day. This Weight Watchers Crock-pot chicken is perfect because it's so low in points. My Weight Watchers Sheet Pan Salmon is another recipe I created for the same purpose - low points!

If you're looking for a really fast and healthy dinner to keep you on track and that you can throw together in 10 minutes before you head out the door in the morning, then this Weight Watchers crockpot chicken is for you!

Enjoy~
