Spring. Full of nutritious ingredients and from ingredients to plate within 15
minutes! The stir fry is salty & sweet and satisfies those taste buds in an
instant!

The Weight Watchers UK ProPoints per serving are shown below. You can pack in as
many 0pp veggies as you like to bulk it out.

If you are on the US Weight Watchers PointsPlus programme, the points will be very
similar but I recommend that you double check against your plan to be 100%
sure.

Chicken & Mango Stir Fry                                                                      4 pp per serving
Serves 2

225g skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 red chilli, de-seeded and chopped finely
1 Inch fresh ginger, grated (or 1 tsp ground ginger)
Around 450g stir fry veggies (I used mange tout, baby sweetcorn, carrots & green
beans)
225g mango, peeled & cubed
2 tbsp.
tomato puree
2 tbsp.light soy sauce
1 tsp.corn flour

Brown the chicken in a frying pan lightly coated with cooking spray. Add garlic,
chilli, ginger, and veggies and stir fry for a further 5 minutes. Add mango and
heat through for 2 minutes. Mix together the tomato puree, soy sauce and corn
flour and add to the pan. Cook stirring until the sauce thickens.

Herby Couscous                                                                                  6 pp per serving

60g (dry weight) Couscous per person
Half a stock cube
Salt & pepper to taste
Mint, Coriander or preferred herbs (fresh is better)
Juice of one lemon

Pour boiling water over the couscous according to packet instructions. To the water
add the stock cube, seasoning & lemon juice. Cover in cling film and leave
to absorb water.

Once ready, fluff up the grains with a fork and stir in torn mint and coriander.
This makes an excellent accompaniment to the Chicken & Mango Stir Fry
above.

 Chilli Asparagus                                                                                                                         1pp per serving

Asparagus Stalks
Tsp chilli oil (or chilli chopped finely added to olive oil)

Salt & paper

Remove the hard bottoms from the stalks and give the asparagus a good wash. Spread onto
an oven tray, drizzle with chilli oil and season well with salt and pepper. Use
your hands to roll the asparagus and ensure all stalks are evenly coated. Cook
under the grill or on the barbeque for around 10 minutes, turning frequently.

Combine the dry ingredients well in a microwave safe mug and whisk in wet ingredients. Add your creme egg and push down well. Microwave on high for around 1 minutes - check after 30 seconds and then every 15 seconds thereafter. The cake will have a fudgey brownie texture - firm on the sides but molten in the middle. Dreamy! Decorate as you wish - I added a dollap of greek yogurt for some contrast in flavour along with a mini creme egg for garnish. ENJOY!
