I love Hoisin Sauce, but most sauces are around 2.5 syns for a tablespoon and that isn’t going to stretch very far when you like lots of sauce with your rice or noodles. Hoisin sauce can be pretty strong in flavour, so a great way to make the sauce go that little bit further while still keeping the syns low is to mix some with some passata or crushed tomatoes, a little garlic and some water.

You still get that lovely hoisin taste and the chicken is super tender and delicious, because you literally just brown the chicken in the pan, remove, add the sauce, simmer till thickened and back goes in the chicken until cooked.

Perfect served with just some plain rice or noodles and vegetables. Or if you prefer to create more of a fakeaway style dish, then try this with my AMAZING Egg Fried Rice.

If you own a Tefal Actifry, you will be pleased to know you this Hoisin Chicken can be cooked in that as well as Stove Top. The added bonus of course about the Actifry is that you don’t need to rotate the chicken to get an even browning, the actifry does it all for you.

The Actifry is a great option for foods that you would usually be deep fried. Perfect Syn Free Chips and I love cooking my sausages for breakfast in mine too, it means they get a nice even colour.

We have the Tefal Actifry 1.7kg family size, because being a family of 4, we need that extra capacity.

HOW CAN I ADD A 1/3 SPEED FOODS TO THIS HOISIN CHICKEN

I went for some stir-fried veggies – onions, carrots, baby corn, peppers, mushrooms, but you can really choose any vegetables you like to go with this. You could even make this Roasted Cauliflower Rice which is delicious and one of my favourite sides when following a Slimming World SP day.

    Bloody lovely!! Does not taste ‘diet ‘ at all. I recommend letting the sauce cook down to make it coat chicken better. You can do this with chicken back in sauce. It doesn’t make chicken dry.

    Think this is my no.1 recipe using chicken thighs! Thanks! So so tasty, had it with wild basmati rice, leftover veg. Another time, will cook some halved mishrooms when browning this chicken and have with the basmati. Very quick to cook too.
