Slimming World Chicken Curry with Vegetable Rice...

I count this as six syns because a normal chip shop/chinese curry sauce is classed as six syns, although it could be less than this. To be on the safe side though, count it as six!

This makes three servings - dinner for me and J plus lunch for me the day after!

Ingredients:
2 chicken thighs (skin, fat and bones removed) - I buy these in Tesco for £3.50 for approx. 5/6
value mixed veg OR value stirfry veg
value broccoli (optional)
Goldfish Curry concentrate (check out my Chicken Veg Curry with Noodles for a photo of this)
value long grain rice - 40p in tesco
4 small onions

First get your wok out, your kettle boiled and your rice cooker on (If you don't have a rice cooker read the rice to water ratio on the back of the pack and use a large pot)


Next put your veg in with your rice. I used the value stirfry mix, value mixed veg and value broccoli - put an handful of each (or the veg you are using) in the rice cooker/large pot -



I used about a cup of curry concentrate... put it in a pot with some water...


Simmer until dissolved... you can always add more water to dilute it if its too thick....


Chop your chicken and onion and simmer together in the wok on a low heat... once chicken is cooked add the curry sauce and leave to simmer until the rice is cooked... you can see in the picture below that J sneekily added some peas to the chicken and onion, naughty naughty!


When the rice and veg is cooked, use a spoons to mix it all together...




Dish up the rice and veg into a bowl and put a couple of big spoonfuls of the chicken curry on top...



I gave J most of the curry sauce to try and save on some syns.

I'm not too great at writing out recipes and stuff, so I hope this is not to much of a jumble to follow. I am not too sure what is on the menu tonight in Casa del Wilkie/Johnston, but I will post a recipe shortly of the Butter Fish and Rice dish when I next make it. I will also be trying out some Oh So Lean goodies next week when they are delivering around the Bangor area and will review them on here.

Before the week is out I will do a super quick review of Governor Rocks in Donaghadee - sister restaurant to Coco in Belfast. I went there last Friday night with a girlfriend and had a wonderful dinner... but more on that later! Unfortunately we were having such a good time I forgot to take any photos of the food, so a quick recommendation will have to do!

This is quite a busy week for us, with house viewings tonight, bridesmaid dress fittings in Dublin tomorrow, a special Valentine's dinner in Pier 36 on Thursday night, cupcake baking on Friday/Saturday and a bridal fair in the Clandeboye Lodge on Sunday. I'll try my very best to squeeze in a few quick slimming world recipes that I've been cooking up - you don't have to be bad just because you're busy - and to also do the restaurant review before the weekend, and also show you all my new shoes, lol!

    1. Brilliant Paula! I think I would normally use about 50g, so this makes three big portions at 4.5 syns or 4 smaller portions (lunch size) at 3.5 syns! Send me the link to your blog and I'll follow it :) Love blogs! I'd rather read blogs than watch TV... and it keeps me from snacking, lol!

  3. I think so Diane. I wasn't too sure about this, but still using it and counting it as 6.5. It's basically just dried spices preserved in oil. Let me know if you find a better one! I lvoe curry!
