Low Syn Orange Chicken | Slimming World Recipe

Quick and easy Slimming World friendly stir fried chicken in a delicious sweet orange sauce. This low Syn recipe makes the perfect weeknight meal!

This delicious version of the popular Chinese Orange Chicken packs in all of the amazing sweet and savoury orange flavour of the restaurant style version, but with only a fraction of the calories and fat.  Making this Slimming World friendly meant it had to be naturally sweetened with honey making this an acceptable low syn evening meal when following the Slimming World plan.

So many orange chicken recipes I see online are made using Fanta Orange to try and keep the recipe low in Syns. I however prefer to allow a couple of extra Syns and use fresh Orange juice. Meaning you are left with a delicious sticky authentic Chinese orange chicken fakeaway. 

WHY IS THIS THE BEST ORANGE CHICKEN?

• Delicious
• Zesty
• Naturally sweet
• Low Syn
• Ready in just 20 minutes

CAN I REHEAT OR FREEZE THS ORANGE CHICKEN?

Yes allow to cool before storing in an airtight container. 

Keep in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for 1 month. Defrost completely before reheating in a pan.

IS THIS ORANGE CHICKEN SLIMMING WORLD FRIENDLY?

It is indeed.. just allow a few syns for the orange juice, honey, cornflour and chilli sauce. This recipe is enough to serve 2 people so allow 4 Syns per portion. 

Should we be afraid to use our Syns? Absolutely not! They are there to be used…. yes there are many Syn free recipes to try! BUT sometimes it’s nice to try something new.
