Syn Free Spicy Chicken Stir-fry | Slimming World Recipe

This Syn free Spicy Chicken Stir Fry is healthier than your typical local takeaway version and will be loved by the whole family. Made with chunks of chicken, speedy vegetables such as broccoli, peppers and mushroom and coated in a delicious savoury, spicy sauce it’s definitely a Slimming World friendly mid-week winner.

Forget about boring dinners, not knowing what to make with yet again more chicken or craving takeaways! This mid-week fakeaway is super quick and easy to make and packed full of speed vegetables to boost weight loss and keep you fuller for longer. 

I have chosen to use broccoli, pepper and mushroom in addition to chicken when creating this stunning spicy stir-fry. But the great thing about this kind of dish is it’s what I call a “throw anything in” kind of recipe. It would also work well with beansprouts, carrot, onion, green beans, baby corn, mangetout, peas, sweetcorn… well the list is rather endless!
