Sweet and Sour Chicken & Rice Bowls

This is one of my favorite dishes I always used to order when going out for Chinese Food. It has been forever since I have eaten it and now I am excited to be able to again with making a lightened up version!
The chicken is ONLY 2 points!!! You can even substitute the rice with cauliflower rice to cut down points even more. I love white rice and won't give it up.

  • Dump your cooked chicken into a large mixing bowl

The sweet and sour chicken is ONLY 2 points! If you want, swap out the white rice for cauliflower rice and make the entire meal only two points.
