Hunters Chicken

Since the OH has been doing SW with me I've been making an effort to make "boy-friendly" meals. This one went down a treat and it will now be a firm favourite in our house!

Serves 2

Extra Easy - 1 syn per portion, HEXa

Ingredients
2 Chicken Breasts
2 tbsps BBQ Sauce (2 syns)
40g reduced fat Cheddar (HEXa), grated
2 Bacon medallions
Mixed Herbs
Salt & Black Pepper

Method
1. Preheat the oven to 200C and line a oven proof dish with tin foil.
2. Place the chicken breasts in the dish and sprinkle with mixed herbs and seasoning.
3. Top each breast with 1 tbsp BBQ sauce then sprinkle on 15g of reduced fat cheddar onto each breast. Place a bacon medallion on top of the cheese and put in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken has completely cooked through.
4. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and place back in the oven until the cheese has melted. Serve with SW chips or wedges and vegetables.

Chicken Kiev

A Slimming World classic that uses half of your HEXa and HEXb, but with zero syns!

Serves 1

Extra Easy - 0 syns, HEXa, HEXb

Ingredients
1 Chicken Breast Fillet
35g Philadelphia Light, Garlic & Herb (half HEXa)
1 slice Nimble wholemeal bread (half HEXb)
1 Egg, beaten
Salt and Black Pepper
Frylight

Method
1. Blitz the bread in a food processor until it becomes fine breadcrumbs and transfer to a deep bowl. Season.
2. Make a pocket in the chicken by slicing into the side of the breast and opening up the inside, being careful not to tear through to the other side. Spoon in the Philadelphia and close the hole.
3. Put the beaten egg into a shallow dish and place the chicken breast in it. Coat the chicken completely with the egg.
4. Transfer the chicken into the breadcrumbs and coat it all over until the breadcrumbs have covered the fillet.
5. Spray a baking tray with frylight and place the Kiev on top. Place in a hot oven for 30 minutes of until the chicken is cooked through. Serve with SW Chips and vegetables.

Chicken Stock Roast Potatoes

Another fantastic recipe courtesy of MiniMins. The potatoes soak up all of the chicken stock making them soft and moist in the middle and nice and crispy on the outside. Perfect with a SW-friendly Sunday roast.

Serves 2

Extra Easy - 0 syns

Ingredients
4 roasting Potatoes
Hot chicken stock
Salt & Black Pepper
Frylight

Method
1. Preheat the oven to 200C.
2. Peel and quarter the potatoes and parboil until slightly softened.
3. Drain the potatoes and season.
4. In a deep roasting tin, spread out the potatoes and pour in the hot chicken stock until just the bottom halves of the potatoes are submerged. Spray the tops of the potatoes with frylight.
5. Place in the oven and leave until the potatoes have soaked up all the chicken stock. The pan should be almost dry and the potatoes crispy.

N.B. Don't move or turn the potatoes during cooking as they will break up and go soggy.

Slimming World Chips

Slimming World chips are one of the most popular SW recipes, but they take a bit of practice to get right. Everyone has their favourite type of potato but I favour Jacket potatoes as you know you'll only need one per person and they crisp up nicely. They're also large enough to be able to slice into the perfect chip shape. I find that by microwaving the chips rather than par-boiling them pretty much guarantees that you will get great chips everytime.

Serves 1 

Extra Easy - 0 syns

Ingredients
1 Jacket Potato, size dependent on appetite
Frylight

Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180C. Meanwhile, peel the jacket potato and slice into chip shapes.
2. Spread the chips out onto a microwavable plate and microwave for 5 minutes.
3. Line a baking tray with tin foil and spray liberally with frylight.
4. Spread the chips out onto the baking tray, making sure that the chips aren't touching one another or else they will stick together. Spray the chips with frylight and cook for 20 minutes or until they appear crispy and are soft in the middle.
5. Season and serve!
