FAQs: Weight Watchers Chicken Quesadillas

Are chicken quesadillas healthy for weight loss?
Yes, if made right. Use grilled chicken breast, low-fat cheese, and a whole wheat or low-carb tortilla. Avoid frying or using too much oil.

Grilled skinless, boneless chicken breast is a ZeroPoint™ food on many WW plans. But once you add oil, sauce, or breading, it adds points.

Your recipes look amazing!
I assume you shred the chicken after cooking? And you say 5 pts per serving (1 whole quesadilla) which would require 2 flour tortillas but only 4 are required in the recipe and the recipe serves 4. Wouldn’t you need 8 tortillas to serve 4?
