My garlic chili marmalade chicken dish gives both a punch of spice and of sweet. Using garlic chili paste is the main ingredient for the spicy component. You can reduce or add more than what my recipe states. Just remember that the spice will increase as it cooks.
The sweet component comes from a pre-made marmalade. In my recipe, I used my homemade carrot pineapple orange marmalade. You can use an orange marmalade as a great substitution if you wish.
Another great component of this meal is that it is a complete one-pot meal. This means that the entire meal feeds four people and uses one pan. Very few dishes to clean, and it is prepared quite quickly to feed hungry mouths.
Cost to make this recipe.
I calculated this recipe to cost about $7.56 or about $1.89 per serving. This price includes a serving of white rice and as serving of carrots as another side. Thus, this recipe is a complete meal that costs less than two dollars per serving. To me, that is fantastic, and you definitely can’t get this price at a restaurant, even fast food.
