Kaffir Lime Leaves Flavored Chicken Bits



Another dish that Josh likes is this Kaffir Lime Leaves Flavored Chicken Bits. Very exotic in taste, a blend of spiciness with the strong aroma of preserved black beans and enhanced by local fresh herb , the lovely fragrance of kaffir lime leaves . Appetizing to the dot. Chicken breast, cut into bite size making it easier for the aromatic flavor to be infused into the meat. If you like something savoury, this is a flavor packed chicken dish :) Simple and yet easy to prepare dish. Good for people like me who just want to sit in front of the idiot box and watch the soapy korean drama :p  These korean dramas are so addictive....just like their kimchi !


I will be looking for simple and yet flavorful dishes from now on lol! thanks to the korean dramas...nope I was just kidding.....Daddy will not be happy reading this, he said I spend too much time chasing after  dramas that will make me weepy , or I will be spending too much time baking away and leaving him alone....* why men can't just be addicted to korean dramas  !!!! *  :p



you can use any part of the chicken to cook this dish...it is just that
my Josh loves chicken breast...he won't eat any other parts...so picky
and I hate the breast part ...I mean chicken breast :p


yummilicious flavor packed chicken bits

  8. Some of my favorite flavors are in this dish! I really like to use Kaffir lime leaves in Asian dishes. There really is no substitute that tastes the same.

  19. Hi & cheers to all of you ..sorry for the late response to your comments :p you are all welcome to the recipe and hope you will love it just as my Piggy Josh does ..LOL!

    Robert dear...thanks for dropping by :)

    Gert...you can used tom yam paste to fried rice..then cut some kaffir limes leaves into shreds , add to your fried tom yam rice. One way to use your kaffir lime leaves :)


    Kristy...Jo will definitely miss this :) you too have a great day..sorry for the late reply.

    Roxan...I think asian grocers should have this in their shops :)

    Cheah...I am addicted and I love their storyline. I too can't remember their names !

    Anncoo...great, hope you love it :)

    Angie...are there any asian grocery at your place ? But without the kaffir leaves, it will taste slightly different. The Kaffir lime leaves makes it more aromatic and exotic.

  21. Hi 5 star foodie...I hope you can get them from the asian grocery stall :)

  22. One of the few downsides of living in Vermont is no kaffir leaves, and is one of the other comments said there is no substitute. Boo-hoo!
