One of the things I'm always on the lookout for things that are easy and quick to make, especially that can be nuked at work. Given that I'm a huge fan of Chinese food, I always look for things of that cuisine to see if there is anything that would work for me. My favorite Chinese dish (at least that I can find easily) is General Tso's Chicken. Unfortunately, the dish as normally prepared isn't very points friendly (try about 18 WW points a serving).
Last night, however, I found a little bit of the holy grail when it comes to this dish and weight loss.
Tai Pei makes microwavable Chinese food (they're the ones that come in the little take-out Chinese food style containers). Looking last night for something quick to fix for myself and Bradley, I noticed the photo of their General Tso's Chicken has the chicken unbattered. Looking at the back of it, I pulled out my iPhone and the pulled up the WW points calculator.
The entire container? 3 points. This beats the Healthy Choice version of General Tso's (5 points), notably because of the rice in the HC version.
So now I have another option for one of my favorite Chinese dishes that is easily taken into work and won't kill my points for the day.
