Really yummy, and easy. Perhaps better to cook the chicken for just the last few minutes so it retains more flavour.

Great meal! we find the red chilli too mild for our liking we throw in 2 or 3 habaneros in to the mix. Still a lovely meal.

An absolute gem of a receipe. Everyone that tries it raves about it
