Chicken Sizzler with Pepper Sauce

Chicken Sizzler with Pepper Sauce

This dish is nothing but an assembled piece. It is more like a chinese fried rice presented in a different manner and of course with a different sauce and different taste. Make sure you prepare the different components in advance and assemble it with ease. 

Although there is use of butter and oil, I have tried to use the bare minimum. Also, I have not fried the potatoes to make french fries. I have made potato wedges which actually taste better. So this dish is an accomplishment for me because it is one of my favourites and it feels good to know that I have managed to prepare it in the restaurant style. It is a healthy festive mood indulgence. So go ahead and try it out!
