Chicken is one of the most versatile protein available. It has got almost no smell of its own, which most other animal proteins have, which demands to be cooked with a whole lot of spices and condiments for quiet a lot of time.
However, chicken can go well with almost every thing you can think of, and becomes flavorful and delicious in no time. I love to eat and cook chicken because of its this property,it is very blendable and never stand out too much in any dish, never suppress other flavours, but elevates any dish.
