How to make Crockpot chicken for meal prep:

Place all chopped vegetables on the bottom of the slow cooker.

Add broth, remember you don’t need to add much if you aren’t making chicken stock to use for vegetable soup with the cooked veggies. But, adding broth makes for a great (and easy) homemade stock, and then you can make bone broth!

Place chicken on top of the vegetables and chicken stock.

Crockpot Chicken Meal Prep

I use my Crockpot and my Instant Pot to do all of my meal prep. Once a week, I take some time and prep a variety of foods and meals so that my dinners, lunches, and snacks for the week can be ready to go!

Prepping chicken in the slow cooker is one of the easiest ways to make sure I have healthy protein on hand for dinners. It’s also the perfect topping for salads!

Chicken Meal Prep Weight Watchers & 21 Day Fix Info:

Crockpot chicken is a great recipe for both Weight Watchers and the 21 Day Fix.

21 Day Fix Container Counts: 
3/4C = 1R

Weight Watchers Freestyle Smart Points:
The entire recipe is 49 Freestyle Smart Points. Remember you can subtract 8 points if you are not eating the sweet potatoes or you can leave them out altogether.

I use fat free chicken stock which is zero points. Calculate for yourself using your brand to be sure you are getting accurate points.

The best way to calculate the points per serving is to shred the chicken and debone. Once that is done you can divide up the servings. Based on roughly 10 servings you would be looking at 5 Freestyle Smart Points including the sweet potatoes.
