CAPSICUM CHILLI CHIKCEN

Recently my son asked me to invent a new chicken recipe using Capsicum as all the usual chicken recipes seem boring to him. So I created this dish and got praising words from my family. And this dish turned out as one of the favourite dish for my family. The capsicum creates that magical touch!
