With leftover mushrooms, cabbage and yogurt in the fridge, I managed to churn out a new chicken recipe for lunch which really gave me the much needed protein after my gym workout. Tender mushrooms, crunchy cabbage and yogurty sauce that were sweet, sour and savoury that really lifted the plain and flat chicken breast meat. Enjoy this recipe!
