Brown Stew Chicken
Our Brown Stew Chicken is a Caribbean classic, done properly. The chicken breast is slow braised in a rich, dark sauce made with tamari, tomato, fresh ginger, garlic and a warm blend of pimento, thyme and nutmeg. It's savoury, slightly sweet and full of depth. Alongside it, our creamy mac and cheese is made with mature cheddar and whole milk for that indulgent, velvety finish. The callaloo style greens bring it all together, a mix of spinach, kale and green beans with a touch of nutmeg. Comfort food at its finest, packed with Caribbean soul.

Tell me when Brown Stew Chicken 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 service publishes, and services 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.
