Slimming World Mediterranean Chicken Hot Pot

Frugal Fifer's Note:

Another Free recipe for an Original Day on the slimming world Eating Plan. This is a family friendly dish which would be delicious served with some steamed vegetables from the free food list. I am going to try making this with quorn fillets added towards the end of cooking to make this free on a green day so I can have it with rice or cous cous. As with all slimming world recipes the stock is made using chicken or beef bovril.

This is very tasty. I just started SW a few weeks ago and I've tried several recipes but this has been the most successful thus far. My non-fat-fighting husband loved it, too, and ate up all my leftovers last night! (drat) I used some rosemary and a little bit of oregano for my herbs, and did put the fresh basil leaves in at serving. I completely forgot to put in the sweetener, though it was still YUMMY! Thanks so much, Frugal Fifer!
