Skinny Chicken Teriyaki with Brown Rice & Broccoli

Skinny Chicken Teriyaki with Brown Rice & Broccoli

Servings: 4 Serving Size: 1/2 cup of rice, 1/2 cup of broccoli, 1 cup of chicken WW Points+: 7 pts 

This is one of my favorite dishes because it's filling and there's lots of leftovers for lunches for the next day!!! Make sure you portion the rice though because it can add the extra points!!! I don't know about you, but whenever I make brown rice, it seems too BLAH. So, what I used to do was mix in a little low sodium chicken broth for added flavor and less dry rice. BUT, recently I found a brown rice that is SO moist and delicious!!! Uncle Ben's Basmati Brown Rice--right now, I've only found it in the single packages but my mother-in-law found a huge box at Sam's Club and I plan on getting some from her!!! Anyway, for this recipe you can use ANY brown rice you want! Here you go:


Ingredients:

• 4 large chicken breasts, cut into cubes
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 uncooked green scallions OR 1 large yellow onion* 
• 1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce*
• 2 cups cooked brown rice
• 4 cups steamed broccoli*

*Depending on what I have in the house, I will use either scallions or onions. We LOVE onions in my house so 99% of the time I use a yellow onion. This doesn't change the point value so feel free to use either one

*Teriyaki sauce--I use the Publix brand and it's great!

*Steamfresh Broccoli is the way to go for this recipe. Just pop the bag in the microwave and you're ready to go--you CAN steam the broccoli if you like--here's how: 

*To steam broccoli, place florets in a microwave safe dish and add about 1/2 of water and cover the dish. Microwave on high for about 4 minutes until the broccoli is tender.

Add chicken cubes and cook for about 5 minutes while stirring. Add the chicken broth and teriyaki sauce and simmer until the chicken is cooked thoroughly, about 5 minutes. *At this time, your broccoli and rice should be ready* Spoon ½ cup of rice and with 1 cup of chicken mixture into bowl and top with ½ cup of broccoli! Enjoy!!! J
