Tonight was the night for some spicy, sweet and sour chicken with boiled rice 👌🏼 So quick, easy and healthy it’s a perfect meal to rustle up on a busy midweek evening. It uses mainly store cupboard ingredients so as long as you have some chicken and veg kicking about, you’ll be munching this in no time 😋 Recipe is in my highlights.. 🤗 °
