I actually don't use the nutmeg at all. I serve it with hot buttered rice and a green salad. I hope you can try it.

peachy chicken variation

I make this dish called peachy chicken a lot. I first ate it at my mother-in-law's and was in love with it ever since. I make it so very often. No one was really complaining, but I thought switching up the meat would be a good idea. Well it was. Meet peachy pork.
