Weight Watchers Spicy Chinese Chicken Recipe

Weight Watchers Spicy Chinese Chicken Ingredients:

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons soy sauce (reduced-sodium)

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon hoisin sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

1/4 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder

1 tablespoon cornstarch

2 tablespoons water

2 green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)

Cooked rice or cauliflower rice, for serving

Weight Watchers Spicy Chinese Chicken Directions:

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, red pepper flakes, and Chinese five-spice powder. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch and water until smooth to create a slurry. Set aside.

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add a splash of oil and swirl to coat the pan.

Add the thinly sliced chicken breasts to the hot skillet, spreading them out in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until lightly browned and cooked through.

Once the chicken is cooked, reduce the heat to medium and pour the prepared sauce over the chicken in the skillet. Stir to coat the chicken evenly with the sauce.

Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Gradually pour the cornstarch slurry into the skillet, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the spicy Chinese chicken with thinly sliced green onions.

Serve the chicken hot over cooked rice or cauliflower rice, and enjoy the burst of flavors with each mouthful.
