Creamy Lemonaise and Mint Chicken – A taste sensation

Add some zest to your next chicken dish. This Creamy Lemonaise and Mint Chicken recipe is tangy, creamy and loaded with flavour. Mixed with a variety of fragrant spices like masala, turmeric, coriander and mint, this dish is a taste sensation your taste buds will not easily forget.

The slightly spicy marinade sauce is packed with heartful benefits of cholesterol-free canola oil and pairs perfectly with chicken. However, if you prefer a vegan option, simply substitute the chicken with tofu. You can also use any other plant-based protein or vegan alternative. It’s just as delicious and loaded with flavour.

Serve Creamy Lemonaise and Mint Chicken on a bed of rice with a side of crunchy asparagus and a fresh green salad. Enjoy!
