Weight Watchers Spicy Chinese Chicken Ingredients:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (reduced-sodium)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
- Cooked rice or cauliflower rice, for serving

- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, red pepper flakes, and Chinese five-spice powder. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch and water until smooth to create a slurry. Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add a splash of oil and swirl to coat the pan.
- Add the thinly sliced chicken breasts to the hot skillet, spreading them out in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until lightly browned and cooked through.
- Once the chicken is cooked, reduce the heat to medium and pour the prepared sauce over the chicken in the skillet. Stir to coat the chicken evenly with the sauce.
- Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Gradually pour the cornstarch slurry into the skillet, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the spicy Chinese chicken with thinly sliced green onions.
- Serve the chicken hot over cooked rice or cauliflower rice, and enjoy the burst of flavors with each mouthful.
