can anyone recommend a yummy recipe using chicken breasts?

I have 8 chicken breasts (for 8 of us) and am in desperate need of inspiration. Nothing too spicy as some of the kids aren't keen. Any ideas? Please? thanks xx

Chicken kievs? we use (and syn) philly whith garlic and herbs or an own brand equivalent.
Cous-cous covered chicken?

The thing is I do prefer green days - I love noodles and rice and pasta but if I want to get going a bit on the weight loss I am better having red days as I do end up eating less. If my motivation slips a bit I go back to green - for me more comforting - days!

The evening of red days can be a bit of a problem but I always get fruit and a low fat yogurt (I love banana and vanilla Mullerlite as a snack but I don't buy Mullerlites very often - too expensive!). Then I use a bit of willpower and remember I'll be pleased with myself in the morning if I've had another good day!

I really have not got my head around extra easy..I'll go and have a read.

Try putting slice of cheese (my recipe sez low-fat mozzarella) on top of each and casseroling them in a couple of tins of whizzed-up tomatoes with onions. You can experiment with different cheese and put as much spice in tomato sauce as you like. I like to fry the onions with garlic first in a bit of fry-light. Remember to count the cheese in any case!

morning all

can anyone tell me how many syns i might have had last night?! i had a small ham and pineapple pizza from a takeaway, ate about half and the topping off the other half! plus a couple of large glasses of wine...oops! it wouldn't be so bad but i didn't really enjoy the pizza!

i wanted to have a few good days until weigh in monday night but i've started the day with a glass of orange (7 syns!) so it restricts me a bit for the rest of the day! i think i may go extra easy and have

Breakfast: none not like me, usually my favourite meal of the day! its gone 11 and i'm off for lunch at 12 so not much point now!

Lunch: Jacket with beans

Tea: Spaghetti Bolognaise (just syns in tom puree and some in mince as not extra lean?) and i'll have brown pasta

Snacks: Alpen lights (HEB)

Drinks: Water, Tea (milk HEA) and sugar free squash

Hopefully that will get me back on track!

Tomorrow is going to be harder as i'm at college (on a sunday!!) and its tempting to but lunch but i'll have to get organised and make some pasta to take and stock up on fruit!

I really want to lose the 1.5lbs i put on last week and hope i didn't jeprodise it last night!

Afternoon all,

I've had a rubbish start to the day, for some reason I couldn't get going. I've been incredibly sleepy and thirsty (I know there's nothing wrong with me as I had blood tests done last week and they came back normal) I guess it's just one of those days....!

Anyway I gave myself a kick up the bum and have been eating pretty well I think.

Breakfast - HE portion of cereal and mullerlight
Lunch - Jacket spud with cheese and beans and salad at the pub
Dinner - ???? don't know yet as lunch was so massive that I'm totally stuffed, though will be something green, pasta or maybe SW chips

As for syns, I reckon I've had my 15 for the day already as the jacket spud in the pub had a tonne of cheese on it, far more than a HE portion I would say, plus we had a coffee and home made chocolate brownie in a local cafe, sooo yum!

I hope everyone's having a good weekend?

Hi Laura,
Well a large glass of wine is 6 syns so if you had two, that's 12 syns
As for the pizza, they are high in syns, which is a shame! As a result, I would say pizza is the thing I most miss on slimming world, although I have made my own SW pizza - it's not the same though!
A small cheese and tomato from dominoes for example is around the 60 syn mark so if you ate half that's 30 syns and I think you need to guess how much the toppings are from the second half you ate (depends on what you mean - did you eat the cheese off it too?)
I flexi-synned one week that I ate a pizza (small) and I kept my weekly allowance right and still lost 2 pounds...I was thrilled and surprised but it wasn't really worth it in terms of the worry and guilt!

I'm not in a position to judge - I've had four days away this week where I ate and drank whatever I fancied (first time I've done this since starting SW and I'm normally a 100% girl!) I dread to think how many syns I had! At least you're thinking about it and trying to sort it out. Good luck!

I was tempted by cheese and biscuits this evening but I resisted and had home made soup and wholemeal bread for dinner instead. I feel so proud of myself!

We're having a day out tomorrow and fancy Nandos for lunch, if I have a quarter chicken, salad and sweetcorn will that be ok for a red day?
