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.

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
