3/4 cup low sodium chicken broth 2 Tbsp corn starch 2 Tbsp splenda 2 Tbsp lower sodium soy sauce 1 Tbsp white wine vinegar 1/2 Tsp ground ginger 2 medium scallions, chopped 2 garlic cloves, minced(I used the garlic in a jar) 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes 1 pound chicken breast, cut into bite size pieces(I used chicken breast tenderloins because they are thinner and cook faster) 2 Tsp canola oil In a medium bowl, wisk together broth, corn starch, splenda, soy sauce, vinegar, and ginger. Set aside. Heat oil in skillet and saute scallions, garlic, and pepper flakes for about 2 min. Add chicken and cook till brown, about 5 min. Add reserved sauce to pan and continue cooking until thickened and chicken is cooked through, about 3 min. You can serve this alone or eat it over brown rice, my family loves it! Candy I got this from the weigh****chers web site as a core recipe

Candy, do you have the nutritional value and serving size? Thanks and God bless. REMEMBER, THE LORD WILL PROVIDE.

No sorry I don't. On the core plan of Weigh****chers you don't count calories or serving sizes, you eat to satisfaction. On the Flex plan the same recipe is 6 points for 1c of the chicken and sauce and 1/2 cup of brown rice so not counting the rice thats about 200-250 calories per cup. Hope this helps, Candy
