If you love it a bit more spicy and if you want chicken that basically melts in your mouth because it is so soft, you definitely have to try this amazing recipe! I myself found it at @kitchenstories_official, but I adapted it a little bit to my personal preferences.

It got spices, it got some fresh lemon, and a sauce consisting of cream and yoghurt that is unbeatable. Serve it with some rice and you will have the perfect dish. It also suits perfect for meal prep when you have a busy week ahead of you. If you want it vegetarian, swap the chicken with chickpeas or maybe some tofu. Enjoy!!

Tips
  • If you are a vegetarian, swap the chicken with chickpeas or tofu.
  • If you don't want to use the oven, just fry the chicken. However, it won't turn out as soft and tender.
