Chicken Salad
Stir-fried chicken, fresh vegetables, fruit and a creamy dressing — crunchy where it should be and creamy where it counts. The dressing is made with Young's Chicken Spread, one of the Young's products we distribute across the Maldives. Cooked chicken, vegetable oil and good ingredients, and it goes just as easily into sandwiches and wraps as it does here. Serving size: 1
