I love the flavour of sesame oil & the crunch of sesame seeds so I thought of preparing this lovely chicken with it. I also love to see a lot of color in my food so I am a little partial to the colorful bell peppers. Whenever I shop for vegetables I can’t help admiring the lovely fresh colorful veggies but I always remember to pick bell peppers. So today’s dish is not only colorful & full of flavor but the dish can be enjoyed as a starter, a snack or on the side. In fact it can be assembled in a jiffy, in case you are hungry & are looking for something attractive to munch on. Above all this dish is healthy & filling too. Here is this lovely recipe for you to try & enjoy.. J
