Salt & Pepper Chilli Chicken

This is a syn free, super tasty meal that really feels like a treat - a great fakeaway for any night of the week!

I know some people will count the use of Smash as a tweak but I don't, I'm not overeating it and I am using the syn free original version.

Ingredients
4 chicken breasts, diced (any visible fat removed)
1 packet original smash
Salt/pepper/chilli flakes
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 eggs
1 red onion
1 green pepper
3 garlic cloves
1 red chilli finely cut
Soy sauce
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon syn free sweetener
Fry lite

Method

Cut chicken into bite sized chunks

Tip the packet of smash onto a plate, add a good grind of salt and pepper, chilli flakes to taste and a teaspoon of smoked paprika.  Mix all the dry ingredients together evenly

In a small bowl lightly beat the two eggs with a little soy sauce (just a drizzle , maybe a teaspoon)

Get a baking tray ready and line with greaseproof paper on spray with frylite

Pre heat the oven to 180 or gas mark 7

Coat the chicken chunks with egg, then dredge through the smash mix until lightly covered

Place all the dusted chicken chunks on the baking tray

Continue until all the chicken is coated.  

Spray with frylite and put in the top of the oven

This will need about 20-25 minutes, but after 15 turn the chicken so it cooks on both sides

Next cut your pepper and onion and lightly stir fry with the garlic, red chilli and additional chilli flakes if liked, I used fry lite at first and then added a little water as I didn’t want the veggies to get brown.  Add a tablespoon of soy sauce and give it a mix, this takes about 10 minutes over a medium heat for the veggies to cook and soften

When the chicken is done tip into the veggies and lightly mix through

In a small bowl add the sweetener to the white wine vinegar so it dissolves and pour over the chicken mix leaving for maybe 3-4 minutes to warm through, turning gently a few times to evenly distribute

Serve immediately with rice or cauli rice 

Syn free salt & pepper chilli chicken - perfect fakeaway night!
