Weight Watchers Chicken With Strawberry Balsamic Salsa
I have never been a big fan of combining fruit into a dish that isn't sweet. The older I get the more I try things I didn't use to like and I am finding the combination is actually delicious. This recipe is full of nutritious ingredients and is bright and cheery too!
I was so excited when a member of my Weight Watchers Freestyle Recipes, Ideas and Motivation Facebook Group, Aide Ayala, gave me permission to use her recipe on my blog! She posted about this recipe in the group and I knew everyone would love it!!

This is a really easy way to change up your chicken. It doesn't take very much time to add a topping to the chicken and it changes the whole flavor of the dish.
If you don't like heat you can always leave out the jalapenos or put less in the salsa. I think the sweet heat combo is amazing, though!

Hi Jamie! I just signed my 13 year old son and I up for Weight Watchers yesterday. I am feeling very excited to try this out, but also a little overwhelmed with where to start. Your free list printable, inspiration printable and recipes make it look much simpler than what I thought. I am making my shopping list and printing away! Thank you!
Hi Laura, I hope it goes well…don’t stress out the first few weeks…make some changes and get to understand the program! You can’t do it all the first week!
