SWEET AND SPICY JALAPEÑO CHICKEN

My Sweet & Spicy Jalapeño Chicken has tender pieces of pan-fried chicken and jalapeño peppers in a sweet and slightly spicy sauce with just a hint of lime. The optional red bell peppers add a pretty pop of colour but the star of the dish is definitely the jalapeños.

Served on a bed of jasmine rice and garnished with toasted sesame seeds, cilantro and an extra squeeze of lime, this dish is an explosion of flavours sure to please even the fussiest of eaters.
