Weight Watchers Chicken Stir Fry

Ingredients:

For the Chicken Marinade:

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce (choose a low-sodium variety)
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced

For the Stir Fry:

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 carrot, julienned
• 1 cup snap peas, trimmed
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce (optional)
• Cooked brown rice or cauliflower rice for serving

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken with soy sauce, rice vinegar, cornstarch, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Let it marinate for at least 15-20 minutes.
2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry until cooked through. Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
3. Prepare Vegetables: In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the sliced bell pepper, broccoli florets, julienned carrot, snap peas, and mushrooms. Stir-fry until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
4. Combine Chicken and Vegetables: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Add sliced green onions and stir to combine.
5. Make the Stir Fry Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and hoisin sauce (if using). Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables.
6. Finish and Serve: Continue to stir-fry for an additional 1-2 minutes, ensuring everything is well coated in the sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
7. Serve Over Rice: Serve the Weight Watchers Chicken Stir Fry over cooked brown rice or cauliflower rice.
