Weight Watchers Chinese Chicken Cabbage Stir-Fry

This version keeps all the savory flavors of a classic stir-fry while using lean chicken breast, minimal oil, and zero-point vegetables. Shredded cabbage and bell peppers add volume and fiber, keeping you full with very few points. Using reduced-sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos keeps the dish keto-friendly and low in sodium.

It’s fast, healthy, and perfect for a weekday dinner or meal prep. The recipe is fully customizable—you can add zucchini, mushrooms, or bok choy while keeping points low.
