SPICY, SAUCY CHICKEN
Sauce can be used as a chutney, marinade or dip. Quantities can be varied to suit your own taste. I MUST HAVE MADE A TYPO IN THIS because I've lost the original and used this one - and the vinegar hit is way too much. I'm looking everywhere for my original and will correct this when I find it. In the meantime if you decide to make the Chicken dish, I recommend you approach the vinegar bottle with caution! Sauce can still be made and stored as the vinegar 'hit' diminishes with storage. After 3 weeks storage you have a very spicy chutney, great with cheese and at the optimum level for making the chicken dish...sorry about the typo...I will try harder in future!

Tips:
- Use a sharp knife to cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces. This will help ensure that the chicken cooks evenly.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the onion and green bell pepper by hand. Just be sure to chop them finely so that they blend in with the other ingredients.
- Use a large skillet to cook the chicken and vegetables. This will give them plenty of room to brown and cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you do, the chicken and vegetables will not cook evenly.
- Cook the chicken and vegetables over medium heat. This will help prevent them from burning.
- Stir the chicken and vegetables occasionally so that they cook evenly.
- Once the chicken and vegetables are cooked through, stir in the tomato sauce, cream cheese, and sour cream. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sauce is heated through.
- Serve the chicken squares over rice or pasta.
