Apple Cider Pulled Chicken
This Pulled Chicken recipe is going to be an instant favorite, one that you’ll make again and again and never have to feel bad about!
How many of you can relate to the frustration of losing a few pounds when healthy feels hard and there’s a new Oreo flavor on the shelves that you just have to try?
Yeah, I didn’t think I was alone. I swear fall is the hardest time of year to keep the weight off, everything is just so damn buttery, and sugary, and delicious. But it’s all about balance right? I mean, that’s the primary reason I do Weight Watchers.
I love this pulled chicken for easy weeknights. I can usually make it one night and enjoy it for two or three nights!
I love using it to make pulled chicken sandwiches because I find that I don’t even need any additional sauce and low-calorie rolls and veggie slaw makes each sandwich just 4 Smart Points!
That means I can indulge in some of this Oreos or my Weight Watchers Vanilla Latte Mousse Shooters for dessert!
The flavor of this Weight Watchers chicken recipe is amazing! The chicken breasts are slow cooked with freshly chopped apples, sliced onions, mustard, apple cider, herbs, salt, and cider vinegar for a tantalizing mix of pure tastiness!
It’s hard to believe something that tastes this good has such a low point value! I have found the lowest point rolls at my local Shaws/Albertsons!

These look like such fresh, delicious sammies! I bet you don’t even miss the mayo and all the extra stuff in chicken salad/BBQ. 🙂

I think I’d rather eat these than BBQ pulled chicken, although I do love my BBQ too!
Barbara says
Where do you find reduced calorie hamburger rolls.
Rebecca Hubbell says
Hi Barbara,
I mentioned it in the post. I found mine at Shaws which is under the Albertsons company umbrella, they own different chains around the US, so depending on where you live, I would check there.
