Hats off to Ritu Dalmia and her cookbook "Traveling Diva" for this lovely yet very simple recipe. Sometimes the simplest of dishes land up being awesome.Here goes the recipe!
-- i increased the sauce and added more chili flakes n lemon as i like it v spicy. i also avoided the flour to keep it low carb…This is the third time I'm making this. PLEASE do beat the chicken very thin as it tastes super if you do that.The original recipe calls for breast but i used boneless thigh as i feel its far softer.
Chicken with lime and thyme
.250 g chicken breast flattened with mallet (i used thigh)
.2 tablespoon olive oil
.1 tsp garlic paste
