PUDINA CHICKEN



PUDINA CHICKEN OR MINT CHICKEN IS A VERY EASY TO PREPARE DRY CHICKEN RECIPE THAT CAN SERVE AS A GREAT STARTER/APPETIZER. THE RECIPE REQUIRES VERY SIMPLE INGREDIENTS, THUS YOU CAN ADD PUDINA CHICKEN TO YOUR MENU WITHOUT MUCH PRE-PLANNING.
COME SUMMER, AND WE JUST DON’T FEEL LIKE EATING THE TYPICAL ROTI-SABZIS. FRESH SALADS START APPEARING ON THE MENU MORE OFTEN. BUT ONLY SALAD SOMETIMES GETS A LITTLE TOO PLAIN A DINNER. SO I OFTEN CLUB SOME CHICKEN STARTER WITH THE SALADS. CHICKEN CAFREAL AND RUSSIAN SALAD IS A COMBINATION THAT FIGURES ON MY DINNER MENU VERY OFTEN. THIS TIME I THOUGHT OF TRYING SOMETHING SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT – HENCE PRESENTING PUDINA CHICKEN.
