After a month of strict detox diet after Christmas, I was really in the mood for some fried food and when I came across this chicken recipe over at SmittenKitchen, I knew I had to make it. The side dish here is my version of Bubble and Squeak. there is something very appealing about the mixture of garlic, shredded cabbage and creamy mash potato especially if you have deprived from carbohydrate for some 28 days:-)
I wouldn’t normally fry chicken like this but this is one of those meals you can afford to eat once in a while and it was absolutely divine. I’ve chenged the recipe slightly to accommodate what I had in the cupboard but it was still very very good.
