Weight Watchers Chicken Pizza
The Ultimate Syn Free Pizza Chicken - For when you fancy pizza but don't have a Healthy Extra B choice free.
Kids came home from school today and you can guess what they requested - PIZZA!! But what are you to do when you don't have your healthy extra b choice spare and don't want to use up lots of syns?
Make this Ultimate Syn Free Pizza Chicken of course!!
Seriously this is all the good parts of a pizza, the sauce, that melted cheese, but instead of bread pizza base, a delicious tender seasoned chicken breast.
There is going to be none of that guilt of overindulging after digging into the delicious recipe.
The kids loved it, hubby loved it - we ALL loved it and we didn't even miss the bread base.

For the amazing Syn Free Pizza Chicken, the first thing to make is the pizza sauce. If you have a bit more time on your hands, make this amazing - Syn Free Pizza Sauce, but there is also a nice quick and simple option too, using passata (crushed tomatoes), tomato paste, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano and basil. Just mix all ingredients together and it's done.
The base is, of course, a delicious tender chicken breast which has been flattened. Just place the chicken breast one at a time in a ziplock back and flatten with a meat tenderizer.
Then you can season one side with just salt and black pepper, before adding them to a hot frying pan sprayed with cooking all spray and browning for about 2-3 mins, while that side browns, you can then season the top with another little salt and black pepper and spray over the top with a little cooking oil spray, before flipping over and browning the other side.
Finally, place the chicken in an ovenproof dish and top with the pizza sauce, and some mozzarella (or use a cheddar if you prefer) and it's time to place in the oven for about 10 -12 mins just to melt the cheese. If you like your cheese topping lovely and browned you can also finish off with a couple of minutes under the grill.
I just stuck to a traditional pizza sauce and cheese topping for these Ultimate Syn Free Pizza Chicken, but you could add some other pizza toppings of choice, like vegetables, pepperoni, olives etc. Just make sure you syn any ingredients that are not syn free.
One question I get asked a lot is about my chips and the key to the ones you see served with the Syn Free Pizza Chicken is the type of potato used. Yukon Golds are an amazing yellow flesh waxy variety of potato we get here on this side of the Atlantic and they requiring no parboiling. I just peel, add to the actifry with a spray of cooking oil spray and in 30-40 mins (depending on how full it is), they are done. I wait till they are cooked to season with salt. If you want to try a similar type of potato in the UK - look for the Elfe variety of potato.
HOW CAN I ADD A ⅓ SPEED FOODS TO THIS SYN FREE PIZZA CHICKEN?
A nice mixed salad is a perfect side to this Syn Free Pizza Chicken - I went for baby greens and beetroot. But you could add tomatoes, cucumber, radishes, onion, peppers, garlic too. If you choose some toppings for your Syn Free Pizza Chicken - pick some speed vegetables like mushrooms, peppers etc.
You can even enjoy this Syn Free Pizza Chicken on a SP day, by serving with just a salad or some of these Butternut Squash Fries.
