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

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 also love this dinner. Chicken breasts are a good base for most dinners since it’s a zero-point food!

WHAT IS Weight Watchers?
When starting any new weight loss program or diet changes be sure to consult with a doctor or physician about any personal health concerns. It is a good idea to have blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and hormones checked at a physical before and during being on the WW program.
New to Weight Watchers?? Also known as WW, a weight loss program uses points assigned to food to track and lose weight. When you sign up, you take an assessment that will assign you a point value to eat daily and a weekly allowance. You can carry over 4 points from the day into your weekly allowance, which is handy when you need more points.
I have been on Weight Watchers since 2011. They have had Points Plus Value, WW Smartpoints, blue plan, green plan, purple plan, WW Personal Points, and now Weight Watchers Points. The new Weight Watchers Simplified plan is the new program launched in November 2022 is similar to previous plans like WW Smartpoints, with some color plans.
No matter the WW plan, they work to help you learn healthy eating habits. I have hit lifetime goal weight a couple of times but stopped operating the plan and tracking, so the weight does creep back on. You do stay on as a lifetime member, just working towards goal.

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. Now you can use another type of chicken, but other cuts may be fatter. Boneless Chicken Thighs are good, but the chicken will be a bit greasy.
- White rice
- Eggs– These will be scrambled so that any size egg will work.
- 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, warm up a little bit of 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 and it helps to get in 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 so I can measure and then mix them to serve the rest of the family.
Serve!!

Hi Jenny. I love Fried Rice-but usually I get only Beef Fried Rice. Or if I go to the Habachi Grill- I get the Fried Rice there. It’s really good & you get to watch them make it & the rest of your meal right in front of you, which is fun. Generally I don’t like Pork Fried Rice at any Chinese Place. This Chicken Fried Rice looks Great! I’m going home from the library & making this tonight! And it’s Weight Watchers to Boot!Thanks for sharing-looks like you have a lot of Happy Campers!
