Coriander Chicken(Dhania Chicken)

I love using herbs in my food. It entangles the dish with some enchanting aroma. That is why i cooked up the herbs chicken. The herb that i basically used in this dish are the fresh bunch of green coriander leaves and a bunch of fresh mint leaves. To be straight forward i added the green chutney in the chicken . The preparation of green chutney is very simple but the taste that it imparts to the whole dish  is just unparallel.

First time we had this green herbs chicken, we were almost bowled with the magic that the herbs imparted over the chicken. Since then my hubby would always ask me to prepare the coriander chicken . 
Last evening i opened up my pantry and i could see a packet of frozen chicken and a fresh packet of mint and coriander. That is it, next i knew what i was about to prepare. 

I also believe that this spicy herb chicken is apt for summer because the herbs will greatly nullify the hot  effects that the spices sometimes imparts. I didn't use much of the spices in this recipe so that the herbs effect would stay prominent.
