Gilbert's Foods launches Sweet Chilli Chicken dish for Chinese New Year
Product details:
The new Oriental-style main course dish contains a full, boneless chicken breast in a medium-hot sweet chilli sauce. The meal is ideal for Chinese New Year menus and can also be served all year round as a pub classics dish.
The dish has a homemade appearance and chefs can experiment with presentation techniques and accompaniments or serve with rice, noodles, dumplings or chips and an Oriental-style salad. Gilbert's hopes the dish will add appeal to menus in hotels, restaurants, pubs and bars, catered events and other foodservice outlets.

Why should you but it?
Peter Smith, managing director at Gilbert’s Foods, said: “Chinese New Year is a great opportunity to capitalise on to boost profits during this quieter period. Our Sweet Chilli Chicken dish is a great addition to menus as it’s a dish diners are familiar with and has a strong spicy kick without being overpowering.
"We understand that chefs want foods that deliver on taste, quality and value for money, while customers are looking for authentic flavours and filling dishes that they know and love and our dish meets all of these needs. By investing in our top quality meal centres, chefs can effectively recreate popular dishes in a matter of minutes to meet consumer demand for home-cooked style, tasty foods.
“Our team of chefs has worked hard to ensure the dish offers the ideal combination of flavours and quality, tender meat that diners will love.”
