And the chicken -


SYN FREE BBQ SAUCE
- 1 onion
8fl oz passata
1 tsp mild chilli powder
3 tbsp sweetener
4 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp mustard powder
Salt & pepper

Sauté the chopped onion and add chilli, fry until soft, add other ingredients and simmer for 10 mins then blitz with a blender if you wish or leave as it is.
Serve hot or cold and is freezer friendly.

FOR NEW YORK CHCKEN
I pop my chicken breast into oven for about 8-10 mins then add the slice of bacon over it and a tbsp of sauce, then return to oven for 10 mins then I add more sauce and finally after a few more mins I add 40g reduced cheese and pop back into oven to melt, its gorgeous .

Tried making this tonight. Had to make a few changes as I'm allergic to sweeteners. So instead of sweetener I used maple syrup and also added a small amount of whisky. Reduced the amount of chilli powder and used a little under on the mustard powder (as the whisky would give a bit of a kick anyway). My parents had chicken with the sauce on top. For mine I added some chicken stock and chopped the chicken up and fried it in a little fry light, then put into a bowl mixed in the sauce and the stock and added some pasta. Put it all in a baking dish and put foil over the top. Makes for an amazing pasta bake. Even have some sauce left for next time!!!

Sorry can't post pics yet but i did have a lovely meal last night and only 2 syns.
I roast in fry-lite butternut squash, red onion, mushrooms, a large tomato (all chopped into bite size pieces)
with a couple of garlic cloves thrown in whole and a sprig of rosemary + a sprinkle of schwartz all spice
seasoning. After 20 mins in the oven i added 3 linda mccartney red onion & rosemary quorn sausages, after another
30 mins i took out and served with half a pack of Ainsley spicy sensations couscous.
I then mixed together a couple tablespoons of f/free fromage frais and some Boursin Lite garlic
cream cheese and dolloped this on top of the veg/couscous - Delicious!!

Was this spicy when you had it ... am not too much of a fan of spicy foods - tend to go no spicier than a Korma or Pasanda at an Indian restaurant.

Yeah it was spicy the first time round as OH used extra hot chilli powder, second time round though it wasn't spicy at all! if you don't like it too hot don't add the chilli powder or add very minimal. It's lovely! Worth a try x

wow been looking through this thread for days, I have some great ideas thanks to you guys

Last night I made the Turkey burgers of the SW Website but I added some fresh chilli's and some garlic to it, SW chips and a bacon & mushroom salad, topped of with some home made spicey sauce which is 2 syns. The whole lot was delicious, I wasn't expecting much of the burgers to be honest as I have never had turkey mince (it was 1.99 in aldi which is the only reason I purchased it!) and hubby said it was horrible, I think he was trying to wind me up cause he also wolfed down the burger then we shared another one! (that is only about 2/3 of the 2 syn sauce in the pic so you could use a bit less and it would only be 1 syn, I hate dry food, just can't eat it at all so I used all of it hehe)



I also made a quiche (well 2) for today and tomorrow!
