- Spray a large saute pan with Vegetable Cooking Spray and place over medium high heat. Add in onions, peppers and garlic. Saute for about 5 minutes until slightly softened. You can add in a few tablespoons of chicken broth if vegetables start to stick. Next add in mushrooms and stir to combine all vegetables.
- In a separate bowl, combine tomato puree, sugar substitute and all the spices. Stir to combine.
- Add chicken pieces to the saute pan. Brown both sides of the chicken pieces. (About 5 minutes per side). You can add in a few tablespoons of fat free chicken broth to prevent sticking.
- Pour sauce mixture into saute pan. Cover pan and simmer on low for about 20 minutes.
- Just before serving, garnish with fresh herbs, if using.
- On the WW Personal Points Plan, if you chose Chicken as a 0 Point Food, each serving will be 0 PP. But listen to this - because of the large amount of non starchy vegetables in this recipe, you earn 3 PP! WOW. And, if you did not choose Chicken as a 0 Point food, each serving will be 3 PP and you still earn the 3 PP from the vegetables so it equals out..
- This makes 4 servings at 0 SmartPoints per serving on the Blue and Purple Plans. On the Green Plan, it is 3 SmartPoints per serving.
