Cheesy Buffalo Chicken Breast & Fresh Orecchiette
Weekend-worthy fusion flavour is the dish of the day with this 10-minute meal. You’ll make a hot and spicy buffalo-style chicken before tossing in fresh orecchiette and topping with grated cheese and a sprinkle of spring onions.
You supply: water, pepper, salt, butter, olive oil. The figures below are for the dish cooked as instructed, so they count these rather than what arrives in the box.

Tell me when Cheesy Buffalo Chicken Breast & Fresh Orecchiette changes
Recipes get reformulated and portions shrink without an announcement. We read this page every week anyway.
Every figure above is read from what the brand publishes, and brands change their pages without telling us. If something here does not match this meal as it is sold today, we would rather hear it than print it.
