Weight Watchers Cilantro Lime Chicken Zucchini Recipe

This easy Cilantro Lime Chicken Zucchini Recipe was one of the first veggie recipes I made for my family. I love that this works to 1 Weight Watchers Point on the Weight Watchers plan. It is so easy to make, and if you don’t have fresh zucchini, you can also use frozen zucchini spirals.

Now I love that Weight Watchers has made boneless skinless chicken breasts Zero Weight Watchers points!  I love to find new ways to make this chicken is a favorite of ours.   We paired this up a lot in the summer with Zucchini using a Spiral Slicer Spiralizer in place of rice and pasta plus, since it’s a vegetable, it adds zero points to the recipe itself.   If you want this is also tasty on a small bed or rice as well.

A Note From Jenny

When starting any healthy lifestyle, consult a doctor to address any personal health concerns. Some things can only be addressed medically and by a professional. Blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and hormones checked at a physical before starting and at least once a year, as these all can affect an active lifestyle.

With so many different programs, such as Weight Watchers, Keto, and macros, it can be hard to know what to pick. (If you’re interested in Weight Watchers, you can sign up -> here and sign up for $10/month for 10 months.)

I personally use the app Myfitnesspal to track my food.  I use macros and focus on High Protein (calories, fat, protein, and carbohydrates) and rotate through cuts and maintenance calories. (Use a calculator like this -> here)  . I did WW for years, but now that I am more maintenance, with cuts throughout the year, and focusing on mobility with strength training. There is no right or wrong answer, as all bodies are different.

The only thing with points is the olive oil and the amount is so small per serving it works out to two Weight Watchers Points for the whole batch.

How To Make Cilantro Lime Chicken Zucchini:

Prepare your garlic, cilantro, and lime if needed. 

Trim any fat off your chicken and then chop the breasts into chunks.

In a bowl, cover the chicken with some lime juice and then mix in the garlic.

Pour a little olive oil into a large skillet or saute pan so it’s enough to cover the bottom of the pan. Heat the pan on medium-high heat so the pan is hot, and then add the chicken and allow it to cook.

When your chicken has browned and cooked through mix in your cilantro and a bit more lime juice if you would like. (I always check mine with a meat thermometer -> here from Amazon)

While the chicken is cooking, start spiraling your Zucchini to be ready to go into the pan to cook to be mixed with the chicken.

Remove the chicken to a bowl, put a little more olive oil in the pan carefully, and add the Zucchini.  

Stir the Zucchini till it starts to brown a little, and add more spices as desired.

Put chicken back in the pan to mix it up, add more Cilantro, and serve!

How to Store Leftover chicken and zucchini

Store leftover cilantro lime chicken and zucchini in an air-tight container or bag for up to 3 days in the fridge. The zucchini may not freeze well, but the chicken will freeze for up to three months.

Storing leftovers properly requires the right tools! My preferred storage method is if the leftovers can be sealed in a food saver. If not, then an air-tight container or Ziploc bag for the fridge is the way I go. The airtight container or a freezer Ziploc bag are the next best bet for freezing the leftovers. I also use a food scale to measure portions into serving sizes.
