This casserole is a winner!! This is one of my favorite recipes that I lightened up for Weight Watchers.
I didn’t have to do too much to lighten up this recipe. Just a few simple changes to make it lower in points, but not compromising any of the flavor.
The original version of this chicken casserole called for more butter. Four tablespoons of butter is 20 Freestyle points! I only used one tablespoon of butter for 5 Freestyle points.
Instead of using full fat milk I used fat-free skim milk for less points.
And finally, I used reduced fat cheddar cheese to save 5 Freestyle points.

As always I had my little helper patiently waiting for some food to drop.

This recipe is a good one for him because I use a rotisserie chicken. As soon as he hears me open the bag he is by my side.
There may have been a couple of pieces of chicken that “accidentally” fell on the floor. He was a happy boy.
I love recipes where I can use a rotisserie chicken. It’s a great time saver!

This looks and sounds great. Can’t wait to make it.
Curious which serving is correct? Under the title Chicken Casserole, it says Servings:8 and then under that it says Yield: 6 servings – 4 Freestyle points each
Sorry about that, itās 6 servings.
How much is considered a serving?
What is the serving size?
Hi! Looks yummy. I donāt see milk and how much to use in the ingredients list. Help?
Sorry about that! Iām updating the printable recipe cards and forgot the milk. You add 1/2 cup skim milk. š
Just wondering if the 2 cups of stuffing is dry or already cooked?
Yes, I use the dry stuffing.
This was just ok. Not much flavor. Since Iām from La, maybe Iām used to more spice/seasonings. Prob wonāt make again
This is absolutely amazing! I will make it over and over again. Thank you so much for all you do!
I’m so happy you liked it! š
Yeah I will add fresh basil and red pepper flakes, and fresh oregano Very nice recipe, Have to use mozzorella or gouda, they dont have cheddar in Peru
I’m on WW and my points came out to 7 when I created the recipe. Not sure how you came up with 4 points.
Carrots, celery and onion are all 0 points
2 cups of Pepperidge Farm stuffing is 11 points
1 tablespoon of butter is 5 points
Fat free chicken broth is 0 points
1/2 cup fat free skim milk is 1 point
2 tablespoons of flour is 2 points
4 oz. reduced fat cheddar is 5 points
2 cups of shredded chicken is 0 points for blue and purple, 6 points for green.
That’s 25 total points for blue and purple, 31 total points for green. There are 6 servings so it is 4 points per serving for blue and purple, 5 points for green.
I made this and it was delicious! Thanks for sharing.
I’m so happy you liked it! š
Let me start by saying I have made this over and over again. It is absolutely delicious and my go to casserole during weight watchers. I lost over 30 pounds and reached my goal weight. That being said, Iām now sharing with my daughter who goes over everything with a fine tooth comb. And we do not see how this calculation on the cheese can be correct. I cannot find any cheese that comes anywhere near as low as five points for 4 ounces. Can you share what cheese you use?
I’m so happy you like it! If you can’t find cheddar cheese for 5 points (I’m not sure exactly which brand I used) I often use Kroger brand reduced fat Mexican cheese in place of cheddar. 1/2 cup is only 5 points. Over the years it’s become harder for me to find reduced fat cheddar cheese.
This tastes like pot pies from my youth!!!! What a pleasant surprise!!! Best WW recipe ever,,,,in my humble opinion. Thanks.
I’m so glad you liked it! It’s one of my favorites too. š
