Green Chicken Dry

Imagine that you are in a restaurant. You want to order a chicken dish. What would you order? Most of us have a few dishes that we most often think up. That would be chicken 65 or chilli chicken or chicken majoorian or chicken curry. Those would be the usual menu in any hotel. Here is a very different dish that you can prepare. It is tasty and healthy. I have named it "Green Chicken".

The main ingredients are mint leaves and coriander leaves. A good amount of these two have multiple benefits. It is very good for digestion, it gives a lovely green color to the dish and also emits a good flavor to the dish as well.
