Part 3 of 3 of the Weight Watchers Cheese Swap It Challenge has me making a quick and easy Chicken Mozzarella (chicken parm). Instead of using regular mozzarella cheese, I’m using Weight Watchers’ version that has less fat and less calories and is a shredded Italian blend of mozzarella, white cheddar, provolone, and parmesan. Check out my video.
Chicken Mozzarella
6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Shake and Bake chicken seasoning
1 1/2 cups of your favorite pasta sauce
1 1/2 cups Weight Watchers reduced fat, shredded, 4 cheese Italian blend
Coat chicken with Shake and Bake according to the directions on the box (simply moisten with water and shake with mix in bags provided). Lay them in a lightly greased 9X13 baking dish and cook for 20 minutes at 400 degrees. Heat sauce on medium for the last 5-8 minutes of chicken cooking time. Remove chicken from oven and top each breast with approximately 1/4 cup of pasta sauce. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of cheese on each breast and place back in oven on broil for about 7-8 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
TOTAL POINTS: 7 per chicken breast
This was another homerun for my family! Truly there is no difference in taste when you choose Weight Watchers Cheeses over regular brands, so you feel good eating a lighter calorie cheese without the guilt!
I wrote this post as a part of series with Weight Watchers Cheese. Opinions are 100% my own. I was sent products to make the meals, a gift card to shop for ingredients, and electronics to produce the videos.
Hard to believe that’s a WW meal. And it’s easy to make. I love that! You’re so cute in the video!
Sounds yummy to me!
I make this and it’s delicious never thought to use the cheese thanks for the tips. I need to watch my waist line
I’m with Liz. Hard to believe it’s WW! Looks delish!

This sounds sooo good!
Great job on the video Jen!
Did I miss how many weight watchers points plus a serving is? Sounds great Keep up the good work.
I know the cheese is 2 pts per serving, I’m not sure on the proportions of the other ingredients.
7 points total for one chicken breast.
Sounds delicious. Can you give any kind of pts + count to it?
7 points for one chicken breast.
Ladies, always check for doneness by cutting into the thickest part. The juices MUST run clear. I’m not sure that 20 minutes at 400 is long enough. At 20 minutes, you might need to go to 450. Again, always check for doneness.
I cooked mine longer, maybe because it was thicker, but it tasted great and my whole family loved it!! Thanks for a recipe that will definitely go in my keeper file!!
