Weightwatchers Tropical Chicken Dish

Weightwatchers Tropical Chicken Dish

So the sun is still shining here in Dublin and i felt like my food should reflect this rare sighting of blue cloudless skies. 

I wanted something meaty, but dark meaty on the bone with spices wafting from the meat but not too hot just a chilled amount of heat on a bed of brown rice with colorful veg and this is the product of the sun.

My other half actually said this is delicious and that's a compliment! This is all for a Weightwatchers Propoints value per serving of 10

Now for this i used seasoning called Tropical Seasoning.  I bought it in the English Market in Cork which is a must see if your ever down that neck of the woods, however i do believe you can buy this in Asian stores.  If you see it, get it, its a little taste of sunshine.
