Absolutely loved this. Although I tweaked it by adding 1 tbsp rice vinegar and 1 tbsp tomato puree instead of ketchup. I also decided to cook the nuggets as they were without sauce and added the sauce to the vegetables once cooked as well. Simply chopped up the chicken and mixed into rice and veggies when serving.

Absolutely amazing! They have so much flavour and feel healthy when you eat it! Really yummy, I used tinned pineapples and I also didn’t use any mange tout but was fine without it!
