I never thought that fruits can be used as one of the ingredients for chicken recipe. I wonder how tasty this might be. It looks so good since it the combination is new to my eyes. And let us not forget the nuts that you have included here too. This is what I am looking for since I have already tried lots of chicken recipes before. I am really fond of different types of chicken food recipes because I grew up loving them. This one for me is a must try so I will make sure that I won't end this week without me being able to try it. I hope my mom will help me prepare this though.
