Irish Spice Bag with Chicken
Think chippy curry, but better. Our Chinese-style curry sauce is made from scratch - five spice, turmeric, cumin and ginger simmered with stock until rich and silky. Juicy chicken breast, spiced peppers and onions are tossed in the same blend and piled over crispy diced potato. A proper Friday-night takeaway favourite, reimagined as a balanced, high-protein meal.

Tell me when Irish Spice Bag with 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 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.
