CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM PIE
I really adore pie, and this version is still a little bit of a treat as I use enough pastry to knock the syns up to 9.5 per portion, however how much pastry you use is completely up to you, and without the pastry just the pie mix itself if only 2.5 syns per portion.
I used the Yeo Valley 0% fat creme fraiche which is 0.5 syns per tbsp (6 for the whole pot), but you could also use the Asda Good For You creme fraiche or the Sainsbury’s Be Good To Yourself creme fraiche (less than 3% fat) which are both also 0.5 syns per tbsp.
Bear in mind that a little frozen pie from the supermarket is around 20 syns!!
