Weight Watchers Chicken Fried Rice Recipe!

Weight Watchers, Chicken Fried Rice, is a family favorite!!   Once I started WW, I was much more aware of ingredients and cooking processes!! Controlling ingredients and what goes into my food makes a difference in the point value.

This post was first shared in 2017 and was last updated in December 2022.

Chicken Fried Rice is on the menu in our house at least once a month.  I love to use chicken breasts in dinners that the kids love! I  love that I can pack this full of zero-point options, and the kids love this dinner.  Chicken breasts are a good base for most dinners since it’s a zero-point food! 

A Note From Jenny

When starting any healthy lifestyle, consult a doctor to address any personal health concerns. Some things can only be addressed medically and by a professional. Blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and hormones checked at a physical before starting and at least once a year, as these all can affect an active lifestyle.

With so many different programs, such as Weight Watchers, Keto, and macros, it can be hard to know what to pick. (If you’re interested in Weight Watchers, you can sign up -> here and sign up for $10/month for 10 months.)

I personally use the app Myfitnesspal to track my food.  I use macros and focus on High Protein (calories, fat, protein, and carbohydrates) and rotate through cuts and maintenance calories. (Use a calculator like this -> here)  . I did WW for years, but now that I am more maintenance, with cuts throughout the year, and focusing on mobility with strength training. There is no right or wrong answer, as all bodies are different.

Weight Watchers Chicken Fried Rice Ingredients:

• Chicken breasts diced-Chicken breasts work great in this; large chicken breasts produce the largest amount of meat to use in recipes. This is also a zero Weight Watchers point food as well. Boneless Chicken Thighs are good, but the chicken will be greasy and add points.  
• White rice– You can substitute the white rice with brown rice or even crockpot Quinoa to lower points.
• Eggs– These will be scrambled so that any size egg will work or diced Instant Pot Eggloaf
• Frozen Carrots and Peas
• Green Onion
• Olive Oil
• Minced garlic
• Soy sauce 

how to Make WW Chicken Fried Rice:

Prepare your white rice, I throw mine in a rice cooker to make while doing the rest of the steps. 

In a frying pan, add a little olive oil and minced garlic.

Once the pan is warm, add in your chicken to start cooking. 

In another pan, scramble your eggs; I do a dozen. They are 0 points on the Weight Watchers plan, which also helps to get extra protein.

Chop up your green onion too, or use a pair of scissors 

Prepare your carrots and peas, cook them in a pan of water, or steam them in the microwave. 

Once your chicken and rice are done, combine everything to make your fried rice.

With tracking points, I always assemble mine separately to measure and then mix them to serve the rest of the family.  

Serve!!

Now, be sure to rebuild this with the amounts you use to make your fried rice. Every brand will vary in point values and affect the point value of your serving. Now, the only thing with points is the rice and soy sauce!!  Mine at the time came out to four points; yours may vary, so use the recipe builder to verify your points on the current plan.

How to Reheat Chicken Fried Rice Weight Watchers

You can reheat on the stovetop in a skillet or the microwave. When I reheat in the microwave, I cover the plate or bowl with a wet paper towel to help with moisture.
