Fanta Chicken

This is a recipe that does the rounds in Slimming World. I must admit when hearing about this and the diet coke chicken I was pretty skeptical, but this is delicious.
This creates a sweet and sour type meal, which I think rivals anything you'd get in a jar in the supermarket minus the calories and syns you'd find in those. I'm already looking forward to having it again.

Ingredients (serves 2):
2 chicken breasts
Your choice of vegetables (I used pepper, onion, mushrooms and baby sweetcorn)
330ml diet Fanta (or any substitute fizzy orange drink)
250g passata 
1 tbsp Worcester sauce
1/2 tsp Chinese 5 spice powder
Salt and pepper


Instructions:
1) Fry the onion and chicken in some fry light until the chicken turns white. Don't overlook as it will cook in the sauce

2) Add your vegetables and fry for a few minutes

3) Mix the Fanta, passata, 5 spice and Worcester sauce in a jug, and add to the saucepan bringing to the boil.

4) Season before turning the saucepan down to simmer. Cook until the sauce is reduced and thickened (about 30 minutes).

5) Add some fresh pineapple and stir through (don't cook or this will add syns), then serve with the accompaniment of your choice.
