Recipe below:

[FONT=&quot]Syn Free KFC [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Syn Free KFC

10 x Chicken Drummers or 4 Chicken Breasts
1 x Tub Chicken Bovril Paste
1 x Egg
1 x Clove of Garlic crushed (optional if you dont like garlic)
2 x Teaspoons of Ground Black Pepper (optional)
2 x Teaspoons of Mixed Spice (optional)
1 x Teaspoon of mild chilli powder (optional)
4 x Slices brown bread
2 x Teaspoons mixed herbes

Method
Place chicken drummers/chicken breasts in a deep pan fill with water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 30 mins. Drain and leave to cool. When cool remove the skin and pat dry. Cut chicken breasts into strips.

Place the bread and mixed herbes into a food processor and blend until crumbled and empty onto a large dish. Scoop out all the bovril paste into a small bowl. Mix in the egg, crushed garlic, pepper, spice and chilli until you have a gloopy paste.

Now for the fun bit, but before you start switch on the oven to its highest setting and have a baking tray sprayed with fry light on stand by. Using a spoon carefully dribble the paste all over a chicken drummer/strip then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture and place on the baking tray. Repeat until all the drummers/strips are covered.

Place the chicken in the oven and cook for 10 to 15 minutes or until the breadcrumbs have started to go brown and crisp. Remove and leave to cool. Once cool transfer to a serving plate.

The bread can be counted as your Healthy Extra B option (or synned as appropriate)

It didn't specify wholemeal bread so it puzzled me.

The recipe should really state the HEB.

whatever works for you FE - I'll certainly support you

A little bit of background for anyone who doesn't 'know' me from the other thread. I chose SW as it seemed to be a healthy way of eating rather than a diet. As it was a lifestyle choice I needed to be sure it would fit my lifestyle otherwise I knew it wouldn't work for me in the long term.

I think the trick is to prioritise your syns on a scale from what would make you really miserable (and likely to give up) to those you enjoy but aren't that bothered about. For some the priority is chocolate but for me it's wine!! So from Day 1 I've tweaked SW to suit me. I work on a plan of being as close to syn free as I can all week and saving my syns for weekends. So I allow about 80 syns for wine (and gravy with my Sunday roast) at weekends and that leaves 25 syns that I may or may not use during the week.

It got me to target (3.5 stones lost for ever:j) and has kept me there for almost a year.

This is my (EE) plan for the coming week:

All my breakfasts and lunches are virtually syn free. I tend to just buy ingredients and plan on the day.

For breakfast, I generally use my HEB for toast and my HEA is for milk for teas through the day. I rarely have enough SFs at breakfast so make these up as fruit snacks or with meals later. Typically I have eggs, bacon, baked beans, kippers, mushrooms, tomatoes, Puffed Wheat, strawberries, bananas, porage in some combination!

Lunch depends on whether I've had my HEB at breakfast so it may be something on toast (beans, sardines) or a sandwich. Otherwise I enjoy bubble & squeak type things from LO veg or stir-fry veg alongside some cooked meat or soup in the winter. If I'm away from home at lunch I try to make a syn free packed lunch like a pasta salad.


Dinner for the coming week looks like this (I've shopped Thursday to Thursday this week but may vary things):

• my version of Tana Ramsay's sausage casserole (minimum syn sausages, no chorizo and bacon instead of pancetta)
• baked haddock, cauliflower cheese and SW chips (before target would have had plain cauliflower or substituted tomatoes, mushrooms and peas)
• SW chicken curry and rice
• roast pork, SW roasties, broad beans, cabbage and carrots, gravy
• chicken casserole with new potatoes and loads of veg and only syns tbsp of cornflour
• gammon, SW chips, tomatoes, mushrooms, peas
• spaghetti bolognese

Thanks for that maman.

Fab post Maman - thank you :j

Te%co are due today. last minute shop so haven't ordered much and just realised I'm low on cat food

When I've "woken up", I'll try and make up my mind whether I'm batch cooking today or visiting the shops....

So tea might be slow cooked beef with balsamic vinegar, chicken madras curry or something else (that's easy!)

I'm planning mainly red this week I think*.

Beef in a tomato & pepper sauce
Prawn stir fry
Smoked haddock & veg bake
Bacon, SW sausage, mushrooms & eggs
Chicken bake
Chicken curry

* this may well change when son tells me his plans for the week as a lot of the meat is frozen in portions for three people.
