One Syn Creamy Chicken & Mushroom Pasta

This One Syn Creamy Chicken & Mushroom Pasta is a filling, delicious and hearty Slimming World friendly pasta dish with a silky smooth sauce. 

I love a simple pasta recipe, and this One Syn Creamy Chicken & Mushroom Pasta is a super simple low syn option that will please the whole family! With just a few simple ingredients and just 20 minutes, you can whip up this healthy, Slimming World friendly pasta dish that will satisfy your hunger and keep you on plan. 

A Slimming World Friendly Dinner Recipe

Before we get any further, I want to clarify that under Slimming World’s old rules this recipe would have been totally syn free! However, because they no longer class light cream cheese as a Healthy Extra A choice you need to count one syn per portion (the recipe serves two people) to account for the cheese.

Despite this new development, this is still a totally Slimming World friendly dinner recipe! One syn barely scratches the surface of your daily syn allowance, and you can save your Healthy Extra choices for food and snacks throughout the rest of your day! 

So, how is this Creamy Chicken & Mushroom Pasta so low syn? 

I love making pasta recipes with super creamy sauces, particularly when I can keep them low syn and packed with flavour! If you were making this recipe without worrying about the syns, the likelihood is that a recipe would call for butter or oil to cook the mushrooms and high syn cream and flour to thicken up the sauce. With this recipe, however, I make sure that the mushrooms will stay packed with flavour by cooking them in just a few spoonfuls of stock and herbs and use the cream cheese and water from the pasta to make sure your sauce thickens up and turns creamy and delicious.
