Chicken Cacciatore W. Shirataki Noodles - Lower Cal, Lower Carb image

Shirataki Noodles are a traditional Japanese noodle with almost no digestible carbs. They're nearly all fiber. They're sold in wetpacks with a nasty smelling liquid - drain, rinse and boil them for about 2 minutes and they're ready to eat. I haven't figured out the Weight Watchers points on this one yet - as soon as I do, I'll edit the recipe.
