RECIPE NOTES
- 7 Weight Watchers Freestyle Smartpoints per serving of two chicken thighs.
- *When I make recipes using chicken thighs, I like to spend a little more money and get some nicer quality, organic chicken at Whole Foods or a similar place. Regular thighs tend to have SO much fat on them. The organic will have a more meaty portion. Cut off any extra fat.
- *Alternately, these chicken thighs may be cooked under the oven broiler.
