Salt & Pepper Chicken & Chips | Slimming World
Salt and pepper chicken and chips is my husband’s favourite meal from the Chinese, so when I set about the process of making a Slimming friendly option, I had my work cut out for me.
No word of a lie though, he ended up proclaiming that this version is every bit as good – if not better – as its takeaway alternative. (And I’m positive that he wasn’t just being polite).
It’s earned a regular place on our list of weekly meals, and I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.
Here’s the lowdown…

Using Spicentice to make your Slimming World salt and pepper chicken and chips
To get that authentic salt and pepper taste, you need quite an extensive combination of seasoning and spice.
Though you could of course make your own mix from scratch, I highly recommend trying Spicentice’s salt & pepper mix.
It makes things super simple, and the flavour really can’t be rivalled.

This Goan prawn dish is definitely my favourite curry to serve at home. If you want to go all out and make an occasion of it, check out my onion bhajis and Bombay potatoes too.
If a chicken kebab is more your thing, then you’ll love this Syn free version. Serve with chips, salad, and pitta bread for the ultimate Friday night feast.
If honey chilli chicken is your usual go-to order, then be sure to check out this lighter version. It has 4 Syns per serving, and it’s worth every single one!
