I am making Chicken Sauce to cheer me up after some bad food experiences at parties two weeks in a row. I do know that most event planners are paid decent money to provide decent meals. Sitting at these events, I see that a lot of the funds goes into the decor, chandeliers , the band, comedians or MCs . It looks like food seems to be the last item considered . For an example at a recent event I attended, ‘steamed couscous stuffed in steamed green pepper’ was one of the items served . You should have seen my friends burst into laughter as all of us stared at this item that neither came with sauce nor meat. We were supposed to enjoy this at 9 pm? Na waoh!
From time to time the thought crosses my mind to get into event planning so I can set some standards in this industry. Well I know event planning is not my thing. ‘I no get that kind power’ What I know how to do best is provide people with meal ideas, so let me stick to that and hope that the coming weekend events will be better food wise .Better still I will have my dinner early .. Chicken Sauce with white rice and attend the events just to socialize .
My offering today Chicken Sauce with white boiled Rice is a simple sauce that makes eating rice more interesting. I should get our event planners to suggest this recipe to the caterers, don’t you think?

Hello Omalicha, I used tinned coconut milk bought from the shop.
Pls how do I squeeze out d milk from coconut bcs I want to make d sauce today for Huby birthday… My first attempt oo
Hi Ellachomy. I am really sorry To have replied this late. You can used canned coconut milk to save time. but if you want to use raw coconut, then you carve out the flesh, grate or blend and add a little warm water to squeeze out the juice. I hope your hubby’ s birthday went well despite my late response.I am truly sorry for the let down
