20 Chicken Recipes that Taste Too Good to Be So Low in Points

Consider dinner done.
Published February 8, 2019

There’s no doubt that chicken makes a great, weight loss-friendly staple: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are rich in protein—read: filling—and super versatile. Think about it: A chicken dinner can be baked, stuffed, roasted, or served in a soup or sandwich. There’s no going wrong unless you play it safe with the same old recipes—boring!

While everyone is guilty of relying on familiar meal ideas sometimes, there’s really no reason to eat the same kind of chicken twice. That’s because there are so many inventive ways to prepare the ingredient and serve up major flavor. 

To help you put dinner on the table tonight (and every night), WeightWatchers® food editors handpicked 20 of the best-tasting chicken dishes, all of which they’ve personally taste-tested. Try one, and you’ll spend no longer than roughly 20 minutes cooking, meaning you can get in and out of the kitchen quickly and back to what matters. (Your kids? That home renovation show you’re glued to? No one's judging!) Basically, these are everything you want in a dinner recipe.
