baked oats

This recipe is for baked oats and is my all time fave for breakfast. It is so filling and you can change what you add to it every day to keep it different.

You'll need:

35g plain porridge oats (free if using as healthy extra or 6 syns if not)
5g sweetener (free)
125g muller light yogurt (free)
1 egg (free)

The above list are the main ingredients, to add fruit to the mixture and for it to be cooked you will need to add the following syns:

100g blueberries = 2
100g raspberries = 1
100g banana = 4
100g cooking apples = 1.5

However, if you add the fruit after cooking and they remain in their natural form, it won't cost you any syns.

Here's how to make it:

1. Weigh out your oats and sweetener into a bowl
2. Add the yogurt and egg and combine everything together
3. If you're adding fruit then weigh out desired amount and gently fold into the oat mix
4. Transfer to an oven proof dish and bake for 30 minutes on 200 degrees (180 fan)

Slimming world Sweet Chilli Chicken

Sweet Chilli Chicken 0.5 syns
Serves 4

You'll need:

• 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 110ml soy sauce
• 2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
• 3 tbsp Harissa Powder
• 4 chicken breasts
• Salt and pepper

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 200/180 fan. Put garlic, soy sauce, sweet chilli sauce and Harissa powder in a bowl and mix together.

2. Slice the chicken breasts in half (through the width) and add to the bowl, coating the chicken in the sauce.

3. Put the chicken in a baking tray and pour over any remaining sauce. Bake in oven for 30 minutes.

4. Cook the rice as per the instructions on the packet.

5. Boil asparagus in water for 5 minutes and serve.

Remember... Dried rice has no syn value but most microwaveable rice pouches incur syns.

This dish is very filling and has so many flavours. The Harissa powder packs a bit of a punch, so if you would prefer a more mild meal leave it out, the recipe still works just as well. Any leftover chicken could be used in a salad the next day.
