CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM SLICE
Following on from the infamous Greggs style steak bake, this chicken and mushroom slice again uses Hovis good inside, or Kingsmill wholemeal sandwich thins (healthy extra b) to provide a pastry-like baked case for a lovely creamy chicken and mushroom filling. Using the Tesco Healthy Living Creme Fraiche these are 0.25 syns each, with most half fat creme fraiche’s these would be 0.5 syn each.

- Lay out the bottom halves of the sandwich thins onto a tray sprayed with low calorie cooking spray
- Share the mixture between them, and use a pastry brush and some beaten egg to paint around the edges so that you can ‘stick’ on the top of the sandwich thin, press the edges of the tops down firmly to seal the slices.
