This yet again is another recipe made for the swap I in. I have so many of my own to post so I will have to get round to that over the weekend I have made a couple of super quick and easy meals that I would like to get posted. I served my miso chicken with a Japanese recipe I have for egg and mushroom rice which is really yummy, it actually is supposed to have the chicken already in it but as I was making the skewers I just made it without the chicken. I am the first person to make and review this one so there are no other pictures or reviews but if you would like to view the original please click here. Just to note though I didn’t change anything in the recipe it is written exactly as is below I did thread mine onto skewers to make them easier to handle while cooking. They were really yummy the flavour was excellent and the chicken was really tender and moist.
