Hello, I think your recipe is really nice 🙂 Actually, chicken breast is my favorite food. It’s good for my low-carb diet.
I would love you to try another recipe that is more simple, yet still tasty. I would suggest you to use 2-in cut boiled chicken breast with 1/2 large onion thinly sliced, carrot, lemons, chilies, garlic, sugar, vinegar, seasoning, salt, spice herb (such as coriander). All mixed with fried peanuts. Pls try and I’m sure you will like it.
