We served ours on a bed of Rice with deep fried Cabbage sprinkled over the top. A few season Potato wedges made this a tasty and satisfying meat.
It’s no culinary masterpiece, but it cost us about £1.50 for two decent plates of food and some Chicken for Tigger the cat.
So shoddy presentation aside, all’s good! The Cajun Chicken breasts were reduced from £3.00 to 90p. I’d not normally give them a second look at £3.00 as I can often get a whole Chicken for less. But 90p? Oh why not...
All we had with them were some coated Potato wedges (Our recipe is here) minted Peas and a bit of Brown Sauce. See we can do simple!
