If you're a vegetarian swap the Slimming World chicken for Quorn or tofu pieces instead - just cook for less time according to packet instructions.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat thoroughly before serving again and make sure the chicken is piping hot.

Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or Slimming World chips for a homely weekday evening dinner. If you want an even healthier option serve with freshly made salad.
