Bhutanese Chile Chicken With Red Rice image

This recipe is based on a spicy stir-fry served hroughout the Himalayas and the country of Bhutan. Use any type of hot chile pepper - jalapeno, Thai chiles etc. I have modified the traditional recipe to be lower in sodium and fat. The red rice makes it naturally higher in fibre.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made a double batch and froze half of it for later. It reheats well and is just as good the second time around.
