IS THIS RECIPE SLIMMING WORLD FRIENDLY?

This recipe is unofficial and has not been verified by Slimming World. But the fatgirlskinny team have estimated it to be Syn Free when following the Slimming World plan.

IS THIS RECIPE WW FRIENDLY?

Since Weight Watchers introduced the new Personal Points plan it is harder to calculate points. Currently I do not have this information available for the recipe. However all of our recipes are healthy and low in calories so should always be WW friendly.

HOW MANY CALORIES SHOULD I BE CONSUMING PER DAY?

When we eat and drink more calories than we use up, our bodies store the excess as body fat. If this continues, over time we may put on weight. As a guide, an average man needs around 2,500kcal (10,500kJ) a day to maintain a healthy body weight. For an average woman, that figure is around 2,000kcal (8,400kJ) a day.
These values can vary depending on age, size and levels of physical activity, among other factors. To find out more about calories and losing weight with a calorie controlled plan please visit NHS.

CAN CAJUN CHICKEN BREAST BE REHEATED OR FROZEN?

Because this recipe is so quick and easy to make I don’t think it needs to be batch cooked.
