Syn Free Salt & Pepper Chilli Chicken

This syn free fakeaway is perfect for those nights when only really tasty Chinese food will do.  I like a lot of spice so the garlic and chilli is perfect for me but you can cut it down (or out altogether) if you prefer a non-spicy version.  I was going to serve with egg fried rice but in the end I had a big bowl of the chicken and veggies and that was enough, it’s really filling.

I know there are people that will count the use of Smash as a coating base as a tweak, I do not.  Each to their own, I’ve lost almost 7 stone without counting this tweak so for me it’s ok.  If that doesn’t work for you please feel free to syn away.

However you count it, this is a really filling meal that is syn free and quicker to cook than it would take most takeaways to arrive!!  If you’d like to give it a go the recipe is here

Enjoy!

1 Syn McDonalds Breakfast - Slimming World Style!

I always have the same breakfast (weetabix or baked oat muffins with fruit) but today decided to mix it up and made a sw friendly version of a McDonalds breakfast. The whole thing is 1 syn plus my HE's.

Ok. I couldn't finish it (1 patty and 1 egg would've been better 🐷🐷🐷) and I was stuffed to move but it was really, really good - the quorn sausage patties are delicious. 

I put some step by step instructions here

Dinner in a Hurry

We can’t always make dinner from scratch and sometimes the best plans of defrosting a bulk cook for dinner just don’t really appeal - for me that’s when it gets a little tricky.   I’ve been following Slimming World for two years now and cook all the time but yesterday just couldn’t really be bothered and didn’t have much time.  A trip to M&S for their skinny sausages had proven they are still somewhat elusive but I got the skinny meatballs instead with no idea what to do with them.   

A  poke through the fridge and I decided to bake the meatballs as I grilled some halloumi, pepper and red onion.  The meatballs are syn free and the halloumi is either your HEA or 5.5 syns depending how much you have (that’s for 35g). 

Syn free meatball kebab
As everything was cooking away I put a green salad on the plate and just arranged like a (stickless) kebab.

It was good, tasty and quick but still really convenient with the added bonus that it didn’t blow my food optimizing out of the water.  Definitely doing that again.

The whole M&S Skinny range is syn free and quite often on offer, I’d absolutely recommend giving it a try.

Enjoy!
