My guys tore it up! As usual, I added tumeric, paprika, extra garlic and extra cumin. I also added peas & used Coconut Oil instead of EVOO; I added a bit more than the recipe called for & omitted sugar. I only had Mexican Bowties, they worked great! New family favorite!! :ohyeaah

My son Michael loves pasta and spice! This dish has both and a fresh taste of lemon and peppers., it’s not a spicy dish but a slow steady heat!

This chicken is a family favourite. We often prepare a double or triple batch of the spice mixture ahead of time and store it in an airtight container. It is a spicy dish, but you can reduce the amount of cayenne pepper in the spice mixture if you prefer. The chicken is also good served on its own as chicken strips.
