This easy Cilantro Lime Chicken Zucchini Recipe was one of the first veggie recipes that I made for my family. The reason I love this so much is that it works to 1 Weight Watchers Point on the Weight Watchers plan.

I was given a Spiral Slicer Spiralizer Complete Bundle for reviewing purposes. No monetary compensation was given and all opinions are mine and truthful to the experiences in my kitchen. (I have included affiliate links to products I love.

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 long-time 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 plus to the recipe itself.  

WHAT IS Weight Watchers?

When starting any new weight loss program or diet changes be sure to consult with a doctor or physician about any personal health concerns. It is a good idea to have blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and hormones checked at a physical before and during being on the WW program.

New to Weight Watchers?? Also known as WW, a weight loss program uses points assigned to food to track and lose weight. When you sign up, you take an assessment that will assign you a point value to eat daily and a weekly allowance. You can carry over 4 points from the day into your weekly allowance, which is handy when you need more points.

I have been on Weight Watchers since 2011. They have had Points Plus Value, WW Smartpoints, blue plan, green plan, purple plan, WW Personal Points, and now Weight Watchers Points. The new Weight Watchers Simplified plan is the new program launched in November 2022 is similar to previous plans like WW Smartpoints, with some color plans.

No matter the WW plan, they work to help you learn healthy eating habits. I have hit lifetime goal weight a couple of times but stopped operating the plan and tracking, so the weight does creep back on. You do stay on as a lifetime member, just working towards goal.

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 up 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 thru 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 and put a little more olive oil in the pan carefully and add in the Zucchini.

    Timely post as my zucchini crop is just starting to come in. I don’t have a spiralizer, but I’ve been thinking about it because it seems like they don’t cost that much and would be a lot of fun and healthy. =

    I’m probably one of the few people who has never used the spiralizer. I love that this one comes with a bag and a brush for cleaning. Love your recipe also!
