SLIMMING WORLD'S FAKEAWAYS

Product Information

This unofficial recipe is perfect for any one following Slimming World, Weight Watchers or a calorie controlled diet. This is a real crowd pleaser of a recipe: mild enough that the kids won’t think it’s too spicy, yet savoury and full of flavour for an ideal for a fakeaway Friday. Of course, you don’t need to have a Chinese meal to enjoy these, they’re pretty amazing with anything!

Sweet and sour chicken with traditional crispy chicken – quite simply the best way to eat this takeaway classic and always a hit with the family. We’ve seen other versions that promise to be amazing, but don’t live up to expectation, so we came up with this!

To cut down the amount of calories even more, you can simply halve the portion size and serve with a healthy accompaniment! Cod fillets, potatoes and mushy peas are all Free Foods, meaning you can fill your plate with as much as you fancy. It's a much more manageable lifestyle of healthy eating and not a fad short term diet that you can not stick to. Just chuck in some baked beans and a couple of sweetcorn cobettes and you’ve got yourself a full-blown KFC Fakeaway!

Definitely make sure your tray is big enough to leave some space around the chicken pieces, otherwise, they will steam and not crisp up. I love to create slimming friendly meals that are easy to prepare and that the whole family can enjoy. Crispy couscous covered chicken which is the closest to a real KFC as you can get without deep frying. Just add 2 tbs of vinegar or lemon juice to the milk along with 2 tbs of fat free plain yogurt, leave for a little while to go sour and it will work just as well. Just to get the record straight, I wasn't eating this every week, hell I probably wasn't even eating it once a month, but a combination of all those unhealthy foods combined together was definitely what caused me to gain weight in the first place.I’ve used leftover Bolognese, I’ve even done them with leftover Mexican Chilli Beef and it was out-of-this-world! We haven’t tested this so the timing is only an estimation and you would need to make sure the chicken is thoroughly cooked through, there is no sign of pinkness inside and the juices run clear. A branch of Gregg’s has just opened in a newly-built retail park near me, and my instinct is to avoid it completely so that I’m not tempted. One of my all time favourite takeaways but with less grease 😉 Perfect with our syn free chips and homemade mushy peas.
