Sweet & Sour Chicken With Rice
The ultimate takeaway classic – made at home. You'll sear chicken breast to tender perfection, smother it in tangy sweet and sour sauce and serve over fluffy rice.
You supply: vegetable oil, water. The figures below are for the dish cooked as instructed, so they count these rather than what arrives in the box.

Tell me when Sweet & Sour Chicken With Rice 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.
