Incredibly delicious chicken and very simple to make! First, the chicken is pan-seared in a richly flavorful honey lime garlic sauce. Next, it’s baked in the oven with the sauce to create a juicy, tender center. And, ready in 30 minutes! Each serving has 226 calories, 8g fat, and 5 Blue WW Freestyle SmartPoints, and 6 Green.
