Jhat Pat Chicken
Jhat Pat Chicken is a very quick and easy recipe and a little different from your regular chicken dinner. Ideal for weeknight meal when you are running around for after school activities or come home late from work and have no time for an elaborate dinner. This is an ideal recipe for those nights.
Jhat Pat is an Urdu word which means quickly or promptly, which is what this dish is. It comes together in no time and can be served with bread of your choice or boiled rice. Usually boneless chicken cubes are used but I just used bone-in chicken pieces, which add to the flavor.
Here it is made allergy friendly and healthier by:
- Vinegar Free: Using lemon instead of vinegar to give a tang to the dish.
- Using honey powder instead of sugar to give it a healthier twist.
