Spicy Chicken Mix

Hi,

Today I am going to teach you to prepare chicken breast with a twist. The twist comes from lemon and mustard oil which are some of the ingredients. This recipe can be served as a snack or appetizer. It can be served cold or at room temperature.

The method used to make the chicken spicy is common in Nepal. This method can be used to prepare edamame (soyabean) the same way. The method is called “Sandeko”. Here are the ingredients you will need.

Serves: 2

Ingredients

  • 2 pieces of chicken breast (cut in strips)
  • 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro
  • 2 green chillis (cut in strips). Remove seeds if you dont want it to be extra spicy
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt  (or to taste)
  • 1 medium red onion. (cut in rings 1/8″ inch thick and separated rings)
  • 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves of garlic (either minced or sliced)
  • 2 tablespoon of mustard oil

  • 1/4 tablespoon of ground cumin
