Szechuan Chicken

0 comments By

Chinese is one of my favorite cuisines, and one of the first cuisines I mastered. From what I have heard authentic Chinese food is very different than American Chinese or Indo Pak Chinese food which is my style of cooking Chinese food. Pakistan and China share a border which is why Chinese food is very popular in Pakistan. Today i am going to share with you one of my favorite Szechuan Chicken recipes. I hope you guys like this recipe and give it a try and love it as much as we do in my household.

Here I have served my Szechuan chicken inside a hollow grilled pineapple bowl, with chicken and shrimp chowmein and garlic fried rice.
