🔥 Instructions:
1. Marinate the Chicken:
In a bowl, mix chicken with ginger, garlic, paprika, coriander, cayenne, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for deeper flavor).
2. Sear in the Nutri-Stahl Skillet:
Heat your Nutri-Stahl Large Skillet over medium-high. Add 2 tbsp oil and sear chicken until golden brown on both sides (about 3–4 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.
3. Sauté the Aromatics:
In the same skillet, add onion, bell pepper, and chili. Cook until softened, then stir in tomato, tomato paste, cumin, and turmeric. Let simmer for 2–3 minutes.
4. Build the Sauce:
Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth. Add thyme and bring to a light simmer. Return chicken to the skillet and cover. Cook on low heat for 15–20 minutes until chicken is tender and sauce is thickened.
5. Fry the Plantains:
While chicken simmers, heat a small amount of oil in another section of the skillet (or separately). Fry plantain slices on both sides until golden and crisp. Sprinkle with salt.
6. Final Touches:
Garnish the skillet dish with fresh herbs and lime slices. Serve hot with fried plantains on the side or over jasmine rice.
