Syn Free Ricotta Spinach Topped Chicken is the ultimate family meal. Tender Chicken breasts over a rich tomato sauce topped with garlicky ricotta and spinach. Yum!!
Remember the Ricotta and Spinach Stuffed Pasta recipe I shared a little while back? Oh my, have you all been loving that. We have too. It’s packed with flavour and a perfect meat-free Monday meal.
But for those of you who can’t do without that nice piece of protein on your plate, then this Syn Free Ricotta Spinach Topped Chicken is the perfect dish for you.
Seriously, what is not to like? Every component goes beautifully together, I could literally eat this every week, it’s so good.
It was kind of a genius moment as I was having a really good week on plan, trying to keep my meals as Slimming World SP friendly as possible when I had this huge craving for my Ricotta and Spinach Stuffed Pasta. Thinking of other ways I could get my fix, I figured hey it’s good in pasta why can’t it be equally as good on chicken? and I was right, who needs pasta? when you can have Syn Free Ricotta Spinach Topped Chicken.
Although if you really can’t do without some pasta, feel free to add some on the side, or syn free chips or rice, or whatever else you fancy really.

This looks amazing! How many syns would it be if you don’t use cheese as your HEA? I always use milk for my coffee.
Thanks
Hi Natalie – a healthy extra equals 6.5 syns, so that would be the syn value if not using the cheese as your healthy extra.
I made this as a quick mid week meal but substituted the chicken breast with quorn chicken pieces and it tasted great!
