Szechuan Chicken With Peanuts 6 Ww Pts image

I've made this several times and we really enjoy it. I believe it came from a Weight Watchers cookbook, but I can't quite remember. It has 6 WW points, if you are following that program. Even if you're not, it's great, and I think even better than what you'd get in a restaurant. My husband, who is definitely anti-diet food anything, really likes it.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.

I added some chopped green onions to the dish for a bit of extra flavor. They really brightened up the dish and added a nice crunch.

I didn't have any peanuts on hand, so I used cashews instead. They worked just as well and added a nice nutty flavor to the dish.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I was able to balance it out by adding a little bit of vinegar. Overall, it was a delicious and easy dish to make.

The sauce was a bit too thick for my liking, but the flavor was still great. I would recommend adding a little bit of water or chicken broth to thin it out.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by reducing the amount of Szechuan sauce. Overall, it was a delicious and easy dish to make.

I'm not usually a fan of spicy food, but this dish was surprisingly mild. The sweetness of the peanuts really helped to balance out the heat. Will definitely make again.
