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 Freestyle Freestyle Smartpoint on the Weight Watchers My WW Blue Plan and Purple! 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. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. )
Now I love that Weight Watchers has made boneless skinless chicken breasts Zero Freestyle Smartpoints! 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 the Spiral Slicer Spiralizer in place of rice and pasta plus since its a vegetable it adds zero points plus to the recipe itself.
Using the spiralizer was extremely easy to use. We cut off both ends of the Zucchini and placed the Zucchini end in the Spiralizer and started turning. Once the end got too short we pushed the black end into the small chunk of Zucchini. This made it more stable and we kept turning until it was gone. Bella got a kick out of the piece that was left of the Zucchini when we pulled it back out.
The only thing with points is the olive oil and the amount is so small per serving it works out to one Weight Watchers Smart Points.

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.

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)

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. =
