Chicken Tikka Masala Only 1 Syn on Slimming World Extra Easy

Another delicious Indian dish this Chicken Tikka Masala is gorgeous and like the chicken korma recipe here tastes so much like a takeaway.

This serves 4 and is only 1 Syn on the extra easy plan. As I say time and time again you can enjoy classic takeaway meals without all the calories and this recipe is no exception. I do not mind spicy food and chicken tikka is about my limit as I am a wuss I served this with boiled rice but you could serve it with slimming world chips if you wanted but I prefer rice.

I also freeze in batches so i tend to make up double the recipe so I have plenty of things in the freezer as time is short working full time etc. I hope you enjoy it and feel free to add you comments below.

TOP TIP: try to cook it for longer adding chicken stock as it reduces.
If you don’t have a griddle pan put the chicken onto skewers and place under a medium grill for 12-15 minutes.
