Saucy Oriental Chicken Recipe

this Saucy Oriental Chicken Recipe is perfect for a jhatpat exotic meal in this sweltering heat. the summer is here and scorching; spending hours in the kitchen is just not my cup of tea. i keep dabbling with the recipes i know and innovate the cooking to suit myself. indian cooking is about laborious masalas and spices which i too love but not when the sun is wreaking its wrath.

chicken is a very versatile, quick and healthy way to get dinner on the table super-fast. it was chicken sandwiches the first day, then it was chicken majestic and chicken a la king the next. today was an extremely humid day and the kitchen was sweltering already.  i opened the freezer and there was only boneless chicken and i was in no mood to cook an elaborate dish.

 i concocted this recipe at the last minute but it turned out fantastic. just saute the chicken and add herbs and sauces with a liberal dose of chilli flakes. the appearance and taste of the dish are perfect and it’s also easy enough to prepare on even a busy weeknight or when sudden guests drop in.

from start to finish, it is ready in 15 minutes flat.
