I have combined chicken and vegetables to make this a super tasty midweek dinner using all of your 5 a day. I use a lot of white pepper in this dish and it's important to the flavour and adds heat. I have found that using freshly ground pepper as opposed to ready ground, makes quite a big difference.This dish keeps well in the fridge so make extra if you want to have it for a packed lunch the next day.
