Turns out it is so quick and easy to make and the flavor profile... 100/10! Our kids devoured it. One of the best new dishes we’ve tried! One of our favorite chefs w/amazing flare @foodie_mette made it w/ Coconut Jasmine rice!

If you’re a content creator, you can relate to this: our camera died when we making the chicken, but we didn’t realize it so when we went to edit this video, we didn’t have our usual footage of us plating, sharing the plate, holding food up to the camera, etc. we only had our up close shot left so this is our nod to her iconic style !
