Recipe Notes
I used fresh carrots, green beans, celery and peppers. Make it your way and use your favorite fresh vegetables.The amount of water released from the vegetables will impact the sauce thickness.If you like your sauce thicker, remove 2 tablespoons to a bowl. Add 1-2 teaspoons of cornstarch or arrowroot. Whisk to remove all lumps and return the mixture to the pan. Stir to combine with the rest of the sauce.The protein can be changed to chicken, pork or even tofu.Leave the vegetables out and serve them steamed on the side.Like it hot, just use hot barbecue sauce or add a few hot peppers.Substitute frozen vegetables, just don't include the 2 tablespoons of water.Serving size: 1-¼ cupsClick here to see your WW PersonalPoints for this recipe and track it in the WW app or site.3*SmartPoints (Green plan)2*SmartPoints (Blue plan)2*SmartPoints (Purple plan)6*PointsPlus (Old plan)
