My kids love it too, which is a huge plus. I simply get the chicken into the marinade before I leave to go pick up my kids from school, then come and home and toss it in the skillet for dinner. Easy peasy. The only problem is that it’s so good, there are never any leftovers!

Simple, delicious, and satisfying, this Weight Watchers Chicken Recipe is a must-try.
