How this recipe came about

I enjoy cooking as a hobby. One night, while my wife was watching MasterChef, I felt inspired to do some experimenting.

I started by cooking some chicken and adding flavours I thought would work well together. To my surprise, it became one of my wife's favourite dishes.
