This week I’m giving you one of my favorite chicken recipes. It does have a few ingredients that you might not have on hand, but pick them up the next time you venture out of your house. I don’t think you will be disappointed. As you can see from my picture, I do cut my chicken up into smaller bite-size pieces. First it makes the cooking go that much quicker and when you are serving all this goodness on a bed of rice or noodles, it’s nice to not have to be cutting into your piece of chicken. Hope you enjoy.
