Spicy Pepper Chicken

Sunday is the day when I usually look for a delicious chicken curry. And I don't miss on trying my hand in experimenting with a new recipe from the traditional ones. No doubt we have so many common chicken recipes cooked in our day to day life. But today I am going to share a recipe that has become almost the very favorable of chicken recipes in my home. The most widely prepared 'Pepper Chicken' is a popular recipe known by many of us. So today my recipe will be a fusion version from the original 'Pepper Chicken' recipe.

I've kept pepper, onion and of course chicken as the key ingredient for this recipe with other basic spices that’s necessarily been added to most of the chicken recipes. The recipe is presented in a very simple and easy to prepare method. I've added a wholesome amount of green chilies along with some freshly ground pepper and as it indicates the taste is definitely hot and spicy, therefore I named the dish as, 'Spicy Pepper Chicken'.

Spicy pepper chicken is quite similar to the types of chicken recipes that we normally prepare, however, there is an addition of mustard oil which gives a completely different and juicy flavour to the dish. No doubt 'Spicy Pepper Chicken' is very spicy as compared to the other chicken recipes because of the addition of Pepper and green chilies, and it also has the pungent smell of the mustard oil.

Hence, Spicy Pepper Chicken will be of a great choice for a Sunday meal, as the preparation is very easy and gives ample time for the other activities and to take rest for the day. There are other chicken recipes on this blog which you may like Chicken Curry ; Lemony Chicken ; Fried Chicken  ; Mangsher Jhol  .
