Here’s a simple and delicious Weight Watchers Chicken and Broccoli Stir-Fry recipe that’s just 4 SmartPoints per serving. It’s low in calories but full of flavor, perfect for a quick and healthy meal!

Ingredients:

• 1 lb (about 450g) boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 4 cups broccoli florets
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (or spray with cooking spray)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce (preferably low-sodium)
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey (or another sweetener of your choice)
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
• Green onions (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the chicken: Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Cook the chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
3. Cook the broccoli: In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets. Pour in the chicken broth and cover. Cook for about 5-6 minutes, until the broccoli is tender but still bright green.
4. Make the sauce: While the broccoli cooks, in a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and red pepper flakes (if using). If you’d like a thicker sauce, mix in the cornstarch with a tablespoon of water and stir until smooth.
5. Combine chicken and sauce: Once the broccoli is done, return the chicken to the skillet. Pour the sauce over the chicken and broccoli. Stir to coat everything evenly. Allow the sauce to simmer for another 1-2 minutes until it slightly thickens.
6. Serve: Once everything is well combined and heated through, remove from heat. Garnish with sliced green onions if desired.
