This beautiful recipe comes from Louisiana, USA, and is one of the tastiest things that can be done with chicken. Sharp with tomato, zingy with chilli and lime and sweetened by the Deep South ‘Holy Trinity’ of onion, green pepper and celery, it is pretty quick to prepare and will vanish from everyone’s plates even faster!
