Yes! I’d highly recommend it, actually. Instant Pot recipes are my favorite when it comes to meal prep. I can make a whole batch of this sweet and sour chicken for Weight Watchers with very little effort.

Using meal prep containers I can dish it all out, stack them up, and into the fridge they go. They make an excellent lunch or dinner option and they travel pretty well too. That means there is officially no excuse for eating poorly.

How do I make this sweet and sour chicken for Weight Watchers?

  • Coat the bottom of your post with non-stick spray.
  • Using sauté setting brown the chicken on all sides, should take about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add all other ingredients into the pot, use the pressure cook setting for 12 minutes.
  • Use quick release then cut the chicken into smaller chunks or slices.
  • Can be served over rice.

What are the Weight Watchers Points for sweet and sour chicken?

There are two Weight Watchers Points in each serving of this sweet and sour chicken! How amazing is that?!

Which WW Program are these points for?

WW has definitely changed from 2020 to now. They went from three to one plan to multiple plans and back to one plan again. So in 2023, we have just plain old “POINTS.”

  • Be sure to calculate the points value of the foods and recipes you eat in the app.
  • Always add ingredients and serving sizes and don’t rely on the nutrition facts in the recipe.
  • Accuracy will come from the information you input on the app.

Recipes like this are great because you can serve them over rice, quinoa, or even pasta without going overboard on points. Of course, if you are low on points this is a great recipe to help get you back on track, fill you up, and stave off cravings!

I just made this tonight for dinner, I enjoyed the sweet & sour chicken, I definitely make this again, It did have more liquid than I thought. I used the juice from the pineapple chunks, so maybe I didn't need to add the 1/2 of cup of water. I am new to my ninja foodie deluxe pot, and during the sauté of the chicken I could not get he chicken to brown like the recipe instructed. I served with uncle bens instant 90 second white rice, because I'm not good at making rice. My husband really liked the dish. Thanks for sharing.

What is jar of pineapple? Never heard of it. Is it like a jam or jelly,?

I think it's Dole that makes the jars of pineapple on the shelf with all the canned fruit. Canned will work just fine. I prefer the jar (plastic) because we can put the lid back on and keep it in the fridge. Thanks! Michele
