Weight Watchers Crock Pot Gingered Chicken Stew recipe - 4 points

Here’s an easy and yummy recipe with an eastern flavor. The spices are warming, but not too hot and the allspice works nicely with the ginger. If you have a very large crock pot, you might need a larger quantity of broth/water to prevent the chicken from burning.

  2. I love me some chicken! Thanks for sharing that recipe. Here’s a quick tip for when you’re in a hurry and you need grilled chicken fast. First of all, you need to buy the pre-cooked grilled chicken packages at Sam’s Club. They are in the frozen section. They’re mesquite flavored…and quite tasty. So anyway, when you’re in a pinch, just pop these babies in the microwave (about 5 minutes for two), and they come out hot & ready to eat. You can cut them up into strips to use in a salad, eat them as is, or make a sandwich out of them.
