This is the perfect recipe to use up leftover chicken. It’s also great for those busy nights that you don’t feel like being in the kitchen forever. That sounds like a win-win to me!
The recipe itself is only 4 Freestyle points per serving. I garnished mine with cilantro, green onions and sesame seeds. It was delicious!
