I heard about a KFC ex-employee who let the cat out of the bag regarding KFC's "secret recipe" for their chicken coating. You'd be right to think that couscous did not make the cut. However, the spice mix mentioned below is indeed part of that magic recipe, and the combination is a wonderful slimming world friendly alternative. 

INGREDIENTS:

• 50g chicken pieces
• 100g plain couscous
• 1/4 tsp mustard powder
• 1 tsp onion granules
• 1 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 chicken stock cube
• 1 medium egg
• Fry light

METHOD:

Preheat oven to 200 Degrees | Add the mustard powder, cumin, cayenne pepper and chicken stock cube to the couscous and add enough boiling water to cover | cover with a plate | allow couscous to absorb the water | mix egg into the couscous mixture | Dip chicken pieces into the mixture | Spray a baking tray with frylight | place chicken pieces on tray | Pop into the oven and cook for 25-30 mins

Pizza Boat Recipe (4 syns!)

Another day, another " I cant believe I'm allowed eat this" moment. 

Ol El Paso have some products which are absolutely loaded with syns. For example, this one pan rice meal which ended up having 36 syns! That was a near-disaster let me tell you. Thank god for the slimming world app!

One absolute gem that they have on offer now though, is the stand and stuff flour tortilla. They come in this handy pack of 8, and work out at only 4 syns each!

These can be used as the base for a lil' mexican feast. There is also no harm to be a little experimental and use them as a base for a dessert, for example. In this instance, I'm going to show you my recipe for a "Meat Feast" Pizza boat. You can use any fillings you'd usually have on a pizza!
