Spicy Chicken Recipe with Mint and Chili
This delicious skillet spicy chicken recipe is so easy to make. You just have to cook the chicken and combine it with rice, vegetables, yogurt and more, to make a gently spiced dish. If you want to make a one pot meal and you have some rice left over from yesterday this would be an ideal way to use it. This spicy chicken recipe is like a fusion dish, combining the Asian feel of the cucumber, mint, and carrots with the spicy chili reminiscent of Mexican or Indian cuisine. The honey sweetens the dish and stops the chili from overpowering the flavor.
Spicy chicken recipes vary hugely and some are rich and creamy while others are quite basic and might just contain the spicy chicken itself and perhaps one or two other ingredients. You can use a spice rub to liven up your boneless chicken before cooking it or you can cook the chicken in a spicy sauce to get a similar effect. Feel free to adjust the seasonings in your spice chicken recipes; some people might like their chicken with a hint of spice and others like really hot food. As long as everybody you are cooking for has the same idea and a similar palate, your skillet spicy chicken recipe will go down well.
For a tasty and refreshing summer dish, let the chicken cool down and use leftover white rice. Stir all the ingredients together and chill it. Then you will have a spicy chicken and rice salad rather than a hot dish, which is also very good.
