The Ingredients

Chicken Breast: Chicken breast is lean, high in protein, and low in fat, making it ideal for Weight Watchers and low carb lifestyles.

Protein helps keep you full longer and supports muscle maintenance.

Olive Oil: Using a small amount of olive oil provides heart-healthy fats while helping brown the chicken and enhance flavor without adding unnecessary points.

Garlic: Garlic adds bold flavor with virtually no calories or carbs. It also contains antioxidants and compounds that support immune health.

Spinach: Spinach is very low in carbohydrates and calories but high in vitamins A, C, and K. It adds volume to the dish, helping you feel satisfied without adding extra points.

Low Sodium Chicken Broth: Chicken broth helps to create a flavorful, creamy-style sauce without heavy cream or flour. Using low-sodium broth helps keep sodium levels in check.

Boursin Garlic & Herb Cheese: A small amount of Boursin goes a long way. It adds creaminess and rich flavor so you don’t need a lot, keeping carbs and points low while making the dish feel indulgent.
