Love Bites Chicken Laksa

This is a recipe I literally just whipped up last week. I was craving a warm soupy spicy concoction as I had been feeling a bit under the weather with a cold... The ingredients might not be exact as I was free pouring and guestimating but it turned out THAT good so I had to share it with you! Pretty easy and tasty ticking all the Love Bites boxes. Bear in mind that my taste buds were slightly non existent when I made this so the amount of chilli is to your own preference!

Serves 2
