Delicious meals with minimum ingredients.

CARAMELISED CHICKEN - Serves 4 at 3 Syns each

4 chicken breasts, skinless
6 tablespoons soy sauce
12 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
3 level tablespoons honey (12 Syns)
6 tablespoons of water

Whisk together the marinade ingredients. Do not add salt as the soy sauce is salty enough.
Toss the chicken in the marinade, cover and leave in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
Spray a baking tray with Frylight (cover with greaseproof or baking parchment if you want easier washing up) and place the marinaded chicken breasts on it.
Cook in a pre-heated oven at Gas Mk. 5 for approx. 25 minutes. Test the chicken to ensure it is not still pink in the middle. Enjoy!

We had ours with roasted peppers and SW egg fried rice but I guess it will go with most things.

making this tomorrow night! :)

Oh, thanks for adding this, Celtic-Chick. I tried this ages ago and it definitely hit the spot! The texture's a bit sponge like, isn't it? It was yummy and I'd forgotten all about it! xx

Oh, great! Let's hope you enjoy it, as it's always a bit scary recommending recipes to other people, just in case they don't like them! :S We really enjoyed it so hope you do too. xx

Thai salmon and roasted veg - syn free

Salmon fillet
Schwarz Thai seasoning
Roasting vegetables
Rosemary
Fry light

This is a staple in my household and so easy. Par boil some potatoes (I used a hexb of sweet potato), and carrots. You could also use parsnips. Then pop them on a roasting tin with your other vegetables. I used courgette but you could also use red onion and peppers. Spray with fry light and sprinkle with rosemary. Pop into the oven at about 180 for 30 mins or until the veg is starting to brown.

Meanwhile, Top the salmon with the seasoning. I used schwarz Thai seasoning but have also done this using a hot pepper sauce, Harissa paste and paprika mixed with Philly light. Then pop the salmon on an oven try and cook for 15-20 mins.

Wow! That sounds and looks gorgeous, Sparty! I must admit, I love salmon so tend to add nothing to it but will definitely give this a go. I'm afraid all my recipe posts are minus pictures because I'm such a techno-phobe!! :D
