Healthy and Tasty Chicken Stew
Let’s start the “New Year” off right with a 
healthy yet yummy chicken stew (it states it 
uses very few WW points also!) 

This recipe takes advantage of using a 
crockpot …so it gives you plenty of time to 
start those exercises, ride a bike, or take a 
walk ... while it’s cooking!

Of course if the Texas weather stays this 
warm, you may have to turn on the air 
conditioner to totally enjoy it!
