Weight Watchers Points
👉 10 WW points per serving
How I make this work for weight loss
This is one of those meals where a few simple swaps can lower the points depending on what fits your day.
What I usually do:
Mixing cauliflower rice with regular rice helps keep the points lower while still feeling satisfying
If I want to save points, I’ll skip the yum yum sauce
You could also use all cauliflower rice if you want a lower-point version
👉 I like recipes like this because they’re easy to adjust without losing flavor.
Real Life Tip
This is a great one for:
quick weeknight dinners, and the kids don’t know it has cauliflower rice!
meal prep lunches
nights when you’re craving takeout but want a better option
👉 And one of my favorite parts: my kids don’t even realize there’s cauliflower rice mixed in.
It’s one of those easy little swaps that makes me feel better about dinner without anyone complaining.

How I prep this for lunches
If I make this ahead for lunches:
Rice and broccoli go in one section of my container
Chicken goes in the other section
Yum yum sauce stays in a small 2 oz container until ready to eat
When I’m ready to eat:
Heat up the rice, broccoli, and chicken first
Add yum yum sauce after warming
👉 Keeping the sauce separate helps everything reheat better and keeps the texture right
