Sweet apricot sauce, rice, and chicken pieces make up this frozen microwave meal, with a fruity, glossy sauce carrying that familiar packet-style profile Aussies know from home cooking. It's the kind of meal that's been a weeknight staple since the 1980s, when the apricot chicken recipe spread through community cookbooks and CWA fundraisers. Compared with other McCain Healthy Choice meals, it keeps the format simple: protein, sauce and grain in one tray, with no extra sides to sort out. Heat from frozen, and the rice and chicken finish together in the same container. Portion size is modest, aimed at a lighter lunch or a no-fuss dinner.
