Hunters Chicken – Slimming World Style 1/2 Syn on Extra Easy
Hunters Chicken is totally one of my favourite meals when I go to a Harvester pub or out for a meal somewhere (non posh 
but it is usually loaded with calories and fat. My taste buds like it but my body doesn’t
However this recipe for Hunters Chicken is only 1/2 a Syn on the Extra Easy plan if you use the cheese as your healthy extra a choice – wow how good is that.
I do love cheese so I have to be careful not to eat too much of it but this dish is fabulous and by using my HEA I can make sure I do not over do it on the cheese although it is tempting to add more make sure you dont as it wont be 1/2 Syn otherwise.
This is absolutely gorgeous and the sauce is to die for and so much nicer than a pub BBQ sauce which is loaded with sugar make sure you use level tbsp for the sauce mixture though as again it needs to be level tbsp to ensure the syn value is right.

I found the sauce a little runny, just wondered if right measures.
I’ve just made this and reduced my sauce by bringing it to the boil on the hob and then simmer for approx 15-20minutes spoons on lovely
fantastic recipe really enjoyed making this for myself and the mrs as we are both slimming world fanatics! I too found the sauce to be very very runny, is there anyway of thickening the bbq sauce?
made this for dinner last night after SW class. It was delicious. Going to use this sauce for other recipes
I added 1/2 teaspoon of corn flour mixed with a splash of cold water. Heated in pan gently. Soon as it started to thicken removed from heat.
Now it’s the consistency of the runny honey I used to make it. Yum.
Sauce much too runny and tasted only of balsamic vinegar, I did reduce the sauce on the hob after cooking, although it thickened eventually it did not taste good at all. So, we will not be trying this one again.
