Chef’s Serving Suggestions


Chicken should be cooked throughout and should reach at least 165 degrees in the center. For pieces this small, cut in half and check that there is no pink
You can skip the plain yogurt marinade, but it helps to make the chicken so tender and juicy
This is a great quick lunch!
Double or triple the recipe, prepare in a wok, and serve as a family dinner
