Special Dry Chicken breast Side Dish:
My mother in law makes this recipe, whenever we need a quick side. That too if we wanted a chicken dish. This chicken recipe is a dry one and an excellent side dish for any rice variety. Especially for sambar, rasam or curd rice.
It tastes less spicy, with lots of crisp and flavor. It is also the best alternative for the fried Indian Chicken recipes, which is usually not healthy because of frying.
Kids love this Chicken too, because of the mild spice taste and flavor. As this is made only with chicken breast, it is filled with protein and easy to eat as well.
