Syns
GREEN - 2syns if using Quorn, 2+HEB for chicken
EE 2syns
RED 2syns but would need to syn chips, sweetcorn and beans!

SW KFC ( with Quorn fillets)

I used a oxo cube with tiny bit of water and mixed that in with the egg instead of the bovril paste ( i didnt really look at the recipe properly, just saw bovril and thought oxo cube was the same!! but seemed to work ok ( used veggie cube for me)
and for spices i used 1tsp pepper, 1tsp salt, 1 tsp paprika and 1/2tsp mixed spice

So i kinda followed this recipe but used the above spices ( and quorn fillets)
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.

Enjoy!

Its Britmums Squidgy chocolate cake ( 1/2 the recipe - so 4.5 syns)

Ingredients
9 syns for entire cake
6 large eggs seperated
1/2 cup of splenda (or other sweetener)
2 oz of cocoa powder (be sure to use real cocoa powder and not drinking chocolate etc)
Method
Preheat oven to 180c or 350f, spray a oven proof cake tin with non stick spray
Whisk the egg whites to the soft peak stage and set aside.
Then place the egg yolks in another mixing bowl and whisk until they start to thicken, then add the splenda and continue to whisk, but be careful not to let the yolk mixture get too thick. Add the cocoa powder into the egg yolk mixture and if it starts to get too stiff, add a little of the egg white mixture.
Carefully fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture and then pour the mixture into the cake tin.
Bake the cake for approx 25 minutes until springy.Remove it from the oven but leave it in the cake tin to cool.

with defrosted frozen cherries from sainsburys and light squirty cream
the recipe for cake made a flat cake so i cut the cake in to 4, placed cherries on 2 of the 4 then put the other 2 pieces on top, topped with more cherries and a squirt of cream................ delicious
so 2.25 syns for cake, cherries free and 0.75 is being generous for the squirt of cream ( 12.5g = 1 syn) 12.5g of squirty cream is A LOT!!
