Cilantro Lime Chicken Recipe 1 Weight Watchers Smart Points

Cilantro Lime Chicken Recipe is a favorite at my house that we have been making for years!! I love that now chicken breasts are zero smart points on the Weight Watchers plan, and this one point smart points recipe is perfect! (I have included links to some great products that I have bought on my own and we love. You can buy them as well through my online sales links.)

The best part of this Cilantro Lime Chicken Recipe is how easy it is to make! I try to have boneless skinless chicken breasts on hand at all times.  I love how this made a lot of all zero point smart points food.  Now the first time I made this the “Green” things made my kids nervous but they loved the chicken and even ate the “green” things they didn’t want!!  Over the years they have grown used to cilantro in our food. We chose to serve this over white rice, and I use the leftovers on my salad and in wraps as well.

Serve on rice, in tacos, on salad, as just chicken, or in a wrap! I personally love this plain and eat it as a snack throughout the day too!

Now the best part is the only thing with points is the olive oil!!  Plus its also keto friendly if you have friends that are keto, I have a couple that we have over so its handy for me to know recipes they can enjoy as well.
