Weight Watchers Sweet and Sour Chicken Stir-Fry recipe - 4 points

This is a wonderful dish, so tasty and easy to make… I used to order a very similar dish from a local Chinese restaurant, but now that I know how to prepare it I’ll be making it at home all the time!

You can use whatever fresh veggies you have on hand, frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, broccoli, peppers, corn, etc) or mushrooms… they all work great with this recipe.

Weight Watchers Cajun Kebabs recipe - 5 points

Here’s a flavorful recipe inspired by cajun cooking. These kebabs are perfect when you want to prepare something tasty, but don’t have a lot of time. You can try experimenting with the spice combination, but in my opinion it balances well the heat with the oregano and thyme.

When you thread the chicken and squash, make sure that you leave some space around the meat so that it cooks evenly. Of course, you can try adding different vegetables to these kebabs (like peppers, tomatoes or onions), according to your taste.

Weight Watchers Cajun Kebabs recipe

Ingredients
3/4 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 medium yellow squash
1 medium zucchini
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
1 teaspoon olive oil
non-stick cooking spray
4 kebab skewers

Weight Watchers Crock Pot Gingered Chicken Stew recipe - 4 points

Here’s an easy and yummy recipe with an eastern flavor. The spices are warming, but not too hot and the allspice works nicely with the ginger. If you have a very large crock pot, you might need a larger quantity of broth/water to prevent the chicken from burning.

Ingredients
1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
3 tablespoons fresh ginger root
8 carrots, pared and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 green bell pepper, cut into chunks
1 (20 ounce) can unsweetened pineapple chunks, drained, juice reserved
4 ounces (about 1/2 cup) sliced water chestnuts
1 cup fat-free chicken broth or water
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
