Yummy! But needs a few additions imho: 1/2 cup finely diced carrots, bell pepper, (frozen corn), bulb of garlic and a few dried seeded chili peppers (blend with sauteed onion, garlic and cilantro). 3-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts is plenty for my family of 6. 8 seems excessive to me. Make sure you make some marinated tomato and onion slices in olive oil and vinegar to throw on top!

I love trying different kinds of food, playing with flavours. I inherited it from my dad. We used to spend every Sunday, cooking something new. It was like a special day for us to spend time together.
Apart from cooking, I also love travelling. My favourite places are Jamaica, and Morocco. Nothing like sitting by the side of the road somewhere, eating Jerk Chicken or a Moroccan Sandwich!
