Skinny Chicken Philly

If you love eating Chicken Philly’s like I do, then you will love this skinny chicken Philly recipe. This recipe keeps all the wonderful flavor of a traditional chicken Philly that you love, but makes it WW friendly. This recipe is only 6 SmartPoints on WW (Blue plan).

*Spoiler:  I am a sucker for a Philly Cheesesteak.  I don’t care where it comes from.  As long as it has meat, peppers and cheese in it, I will eat it and love it.  But with that love comes a whole bunch of unnecessary calories.  So, what gives?

When I found the base recipe on Weight Watchers, I couldn’t believe my eyes.  I even tried out their version as a test to see how this would turn out…and it was good, but needed some improvements.  

I added mushrooms and peppers to the base recipe – and used a hoagie instead of flatbread.  You can take out the innards of the bread to make it even more Weight Watchers friendly.

To make this Skinny Chicken Philly recipe:

In a large non-stick skillet, saute the onions, peppers and mushrooms with a bit of cooking spray.  Once the onions are translucent and the peppers are soft, add in the cubed chicken.  Cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 7 minutes.

In the pan, separate the chicken mixture into 4 quadrants and add the cheese.  Let the cheese melt in the pan and then spoon it out into the buns.  Serve immediately.
