This yummy dish is a must-have on your weekly meal planner. I’m serving it over steamed cabbage to savor every bit of the sweet Asian glaze. It’s so tasty this way and is fiber-rich. Or, you could serve it over cauliflower rice or brown rice. Each skinny serving has just 193 calories, 2 grams of fat, and 2 Blue WW Freestyle SmartPoints, and 3 Green.
Ingredients
- 4 (4 oz each)chicken breasts, (boneless, skinless)

- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2-3 pkgs. Truvia, Stevia or Splenda (sugar substitute), to taste or you could use 1 tablespoon hiney

Instructions

- Pour sauce in a small pot. In a small dish, mix the cornstarch with a little water to dissolve. If using flour, not necessary. Whisk it into the sauce. Bring heat up to a boil, turn down to low and simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens a bit. Pour sauce over chicken.
- Add cabbage to a microwave-safe bowl and cook in the microwave for 2-3 minutes until soft.

- Makes 4 servings (each serving, 1 chicken breast, and sauce)
