Ready in less than 25 minutes, this Speedy Chipotle Chicken Penne has it all. The main flavour here comes from chipotle, full of rich, smoky and fruity flavours with a kick from the chipotle chillies.
Boxes and ingredients are packed in facilities that handles Peanut, Nuts, Sesame, Fish, Crustaceans, Milk, Egg, Mustard, Celery, Soya, Gluten and Sulphites. Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.
