Orange Chicken with Broccoli – Weight Watchers Recipe

Since many of the Weight Watchers recipes are suitable for Phase III of the Fat Smash Diet, I am sharing some of the ones I  tested and loved.

Today’s post for the Orange Chicken with Broccoli is also a very lean dish, delicious and simple to prepare.

I enjoyed this dish with brown rice and veggies since potatoes and white rice are excluded from the Fat Smash Diet.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
