About this dish
This dish blends a creamy Belgian chicken stew with the bright, aromatic flavors of Thai Tom Yum. The broth is rich and silky, made with crème fraîche and sour cream rather than coconut milk, giving it a pleasant tang. You'll taste fresh lemongrass, galangal, and kaffir lime, along with a mild heat from bird's eye chillies and a savory finish from fish sauce. It features tender pieces of free-range chicken and a smooth, citrusy sauce that is both comforting and sharp. This is a complete meal in a bowl that is ready to heat and enjoy immediately.
⚠️ Allergens: Eggs, Milk, Celery
Freshness: Good for 4 days after delivery. Freezer-safe up to 3 months.
