If you want to make this WW chicken stir fry at home you’ll need a few simple ingredients. I know sometimes complicated ingredients are difficult to come by and no one wants to be searching around the grocery store for strange stuff.
You’ll need boneless skinless chicken breasts, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, red peppers, broccoli, low sodium soy sauce, vegetable oil, and some dry roasted salted cashews.
If you don’t like the cashews or don’t have them on hand, just leave them out. It’ll lower the points and you won’t really notice they’re gone!

How to make Weight Watchers chicken stir fry:
This is a really easy recipe. Just a few steps and we have a delicious meal on the table. The first thing we need to do is prep our ingredients. Once you have your veggies and chicken chopped up into uniform size pieces we can begin the cooking process.
We’ll be using a non-stick skillet over high heat, the vegetable oil and the sesame oil is used to fry up our ginger, garlic, chicken and veggies. We just need to cook the chicken first for a few minutes until it’s browned.
After the chicken is cooked about halfway we can cook the veggies before adding the chicken back into the skillet. Once the chicken is cooked the rest of the way through and the veggies are tender we can top with the cashews and serve!
