Ooh what lovely recipes you've all got! I love the sound of the Chicken Milanese someone posted earlier - my favourite restaurant does garlicky chicken milanese with chips and spaghetti dripping in olive oil...honestly it is absolutely gorgeous! So its great to have a free version of it!
I sturggle on Red and am a terrible cook so tend to make this quick and easy club sandwich for 2 syns and 1 HEB:

3 x slices WW bread (HEB)
Heaps of bacon
Chicken breast
Hellmans Extra light mayo (2 syns)
Lettuce
Tomato

Just grill your bacon and chicken, toast the bread, spread with 1 tbsp Hellmans X light and then stuff it in in layers of chicken, bacon and salad.
Sorry it's not very complex, like I said, not exactly a domestic goddess!
