Weight Watchers Ranch Chicken Recipe

This Weight Watchers Ranch Chicken Recipe is a family favorite!! Since saving time and money is important to my family and we are always looking for ways to do so.  Even better if we can find dinners that the whole family can agree, and fit into the WW plan.  Thankfully chicken breasts, which are zero smart points, are always at the top of everyone’s list for what they will eat for dinner. I was given a case of chicken to facilitate a review but no monetary compensation was given.  (I have included affiliate links to products I love.

With being on Weight Watchers chicken breasts is the perfect protein to base our meals off of.  And the plus side the kids eat better by default as well!! I am always looking to find new ways to make chicken, especially ways the kids will like it as well.   We have made Cornflake Chicken Strips before and decided to make a new variation with the kid’s favorite ranch seasoning!!  I know I am always stalking the meat markdowns at the grocery store I buy those close date and freeze them for later on!

Weight Watchers Ranch Chicken Recipe Ingredients:

• 1/2 Cup of Sour Cream (you could use low fat to lower point value)
• 2 Cups of Corn Flakes
• 6 Tbsp Of Ranch Seasoning
• 1lb of Chicken Breast

Weight Watchers Ranch Chicken Recipe Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

In a zipper bag crush cornflakes and combine with ranch seasoning

Coat your chicken breast sour cream, I did mine lightly just enough to make the seasoning stick to 0the chicken breast.

Place a breast in the zipper bag and shake to coat in corn flake mixture

Spray a 9×13 baking dish with a nonstick spray (I use my -> Homemade Nonstick Spray) Now I know my mom is all about her metal pans but I am all about the Pyrex glass pans!  Clean up is so much easier out of a glass pan vs metal for me I am not sure why but it works!!! I love the one with the handle and the lid makes storing leftovers so much easier!

Pyrex Easy Grab 3-Quart Oblong Baking Dish

Remove the chicken breast from the bag and place in your pan

Repeat these steps until all breasts are covered

Take remaining mixture and cover the chicken breasts

Bake for 45 minutes till chicken breast is cooked thoroughly

You can see how juicy they turn out too!!

The Old Points Plus Point value.

Be sure you recalculate as points value may vary by brand and you can lower the point on this by using low-fat sour cream. The old Smartpoints value or green plan.

Now with the Freestyle Smartpoints on blue or purple, it works out a bit different since chicken is now zero points!

Now, this is the breakdown for the batch I just made and the ingredients that we used. I did end up tracking my chicken as 6 Weight Watchers smart points because I knew I didn’t use all of the sour cream and corn flakes on the chicken.  This is a recipe that has some wiggle room so you can use your judgment when it comes to assigning your points.
