If you’re a slimming world member already you will no doubt have heard of Diet Coke Chicken (even if your not on Slimming World you should try making it…it is so yummy and simple to make) it is one of the most well known Slimming World recipes and one most people will try out! It is simple to make, but really tasty and filling, and you can pack it with lots of speed food to help increase your weight loss. But have you heard of Fanta Chicken? Its the tangy, fruity, almost sweet and sour tasting version of Diet Coke chicken….made obviously with Fanta Zero!
I am not a Slimming World consultant! I am simply a member who likes to cook, and adapted recipes to make them Slimming World friendly or low syn/syn free where I can. So as always please check the ingredients against current syn values as they change often and I would hate to be responsible for someones weight loss journey slowing down. That being said this particular recipe is made using fairly basic ingredients which are all syn free and should stay that way. If you are a member you can double check ingredients on the website

Looking for a Sweet and Sour Style Fakeaway Recipe?
Sometimes you just crave the taste of a good Chinese takeaway, but sadly we all know they are high on the calories and definitely not a great idea if you are on a Slimming World (or any other) diet. That’s where a good Fakeaway Recipe comes in handy.
A fakeaway is a heathy take away style recipe, in this instance a Chinese dish, but it could be Indian, Thai, American or any other fast food type dish.
Is it Syn Free?
Well yes….and no! OK this depends on how you treat ‘cooked’ fruit. According to Slimming World guidelines if you cook a fruit then you need to syn it, and this recipe has pineapple in it. But it is literally added to the pan for the last minute, simply to heat through and in my eyes that isn’t really cooking it. It won’t be breaking down any of the fruits structure and you’re not going to eat it in a larger quantity. But this is totally up to you personally, if you want to syn it you can, if you chose not to thats fine, if you decide to cook it without the pineapple or only add it to the dish after its been cooked…its up to you! But all the other ingredients are Syn Free!

Ingredients you will need to make Syn Free Fanta Chicken
- 2 chicken breasts, diced
- 1 yellow pepper, diced
- 1 orange pepper, diced
- 150g green beans, topped, tailed and sliced into 3
- 1 onion, diced (we use a leek as Jon cant eat onions)

- 200g can of chopped tomatoes
- 1tbsp White Wine Vinegar
- 1 Chicken Stock Cube
- 150g pineapple chunks (I used 4 pineapple rings diced up)

How to make our Fanta Chicken Recipe
- Spray a large deep frying pan with your spray oil and place on a medium/high heat. Add your onions (or leeks) and cook until starting to soften and brown
- Add the chicken to the pan and brown all over
- Next add the peppers and allow them to start to softening
- Pour in the can of Fanta, tinned tomatoes, white wine vinegar, green beans and crumble in the stock cube, mix it all together well and allow it to come to the boil
- Then lower the heat to a simmer for 25 minutes. Stir occasionally so it doesn’t catch. You want the liquid to reduce into a thick and almost sticky sauce. It will happen it sometimes just takes a little extra time

Fanta Chicken? I have not heard of this before but I feel like I need to try it. We love Diet Coke Chicken so I think we’d love this too.
Have just made this and it’s lovely,didn’t thicken so good don’t know where I went wrong
but still nice
Usually it thickens if you keep heating it for a little. If your not on SW then you can use a little corn flour water mix, but if your on SW you would need to syn it
