Sweet Chili Lemon Grass Chicken (PC Blue Menu)

[deane]

Lunch today was President's Choice Sweet Chili Lemon Grass Chicken, from their Blue Menu line.

Chunks of white chicken breast meat and red bell pepper in a sweet chili sauce, with a side of plain jasmine rice.

The sauce has a very mild taste. So much so that I was ready to rank this dish as Bland after the first couple of bites, but after a while the flavour started to come out more and I ended up liking it. The chicken and bell peppers both pick up the flavour nicely. Spicing is fairly mild but sufficient to leave a pleasant warmth in my mouth between bites. The use of jasmine rice means that the rice by itself has a bit of character, but that's less of an issue in this dish as there's plenty of sauce to spread over it.
