Syn free*! KFC style chicken - Can't even describe how yum this is...!

Hey there everyone. Sorry I've not posted in a while - I've been a very busy (aka lazy) girl! Anywho, it's friday night. I've been getting monster cravings. Cravings for what? The colonels fried chicken, that's what. So imagine my joy when I found a slimming world friendly version! It's delicious. I can't even recommend this enough. Make it, enjoy it. God bless KFC.

Btw - sorry for the low quality photo. Batteries have died so I'm using a camera phone - it looked much better in real life!

KFC Style Chicken - Syns - 0*
Serves 2-4

4 Chicken Fillets/Chicken Pieces
1 Pot of Chicken Bovril
4 Slices of Brown Bread (400g loaf)
1 Egg
1 Tsp Hot Chilli Powder (Optional)
1 Tbsp Mixed Herbs
1 Tsp Garlic Powder (optional)
Bit of Black Pepper.

*WARNING: If not using the bread as your healthy extra, syn accordingly. It normally works out as 1 slice per person!

1. Boil your chicken in a large pan of water and then for about 20-25 minutes. Once cooked, drain, dry and leave to cool for a little bit while you do the rest.
2. Put the bread and mixed herbs into a food processor or use a hand blender to blitz them into breadcrumbs.
3. In another bowl, mix the bovril, chilli powder, garlic, pepper and egg (and anything else you want to use).
4. Coat the chicken in the bovril mix before rolling in the breadcrumbs. It doesn't need to be too thick, just enough to coat it!
5. Place the chicken on a tray and put in a pre-heated oven on a fairly high temperature (I went about 200). Cook for 10-15 minutes until browned and crispy!

And there you have it! Wonderfully tasty chicken!! I served this with slimming world chips and home made coleslaw and it felt like I was being all naughty and induldgent.

Enjoy!

omg that looks amazing!!! I'm going to have to try this out, your coleslaw looks lush too i've tried to make it before but it always taste terrible and goes watery. x

Everyone likes a loser, right? said...

Thanks! I think my coleslaw had about 3 syns in it but it was definitely worth it. I used a tablespoon of extra light mayo and a tablespoon of salad cream and a bit of fat free fromage frais to pad it out a bit - very tasty! Let me know how your KFC goes! x
