Combining tender chunks of tasty chicken breast in a Piri Piri sauce with red and yellow peppers, coriander and lemon juice, served with long grain and wild rice, all for only 355 calories, 0.4g of saturated fat and a ProPoints® value of 9, it even includes one of your 5-A-DAY.

Weight Watchers Chef’s Specials range is the perfect option for anyone watching their weight. The new range takes inspiration from restaurants’ specials boards, giving customers a chance to indulge in a varied menu of world-foods in the comfort of their own home and at a fraction of the cost of restaurant prices.
