Sweet chilli chicken with carrot and potatoes mash, asparagus and tzaziki

Jump to Recipe

When I first made this dish it was an experiment and I was just using what I had in the kitchen. It turned out to be one of my favorite combinations. Sweet chili chicken, creamy mash with some texture from the carrots, light asparagus and garlicky tzaziki. It maybe sounds strange but it definitely tastes great together!
