COCONUT CHICKEN

Serves: about 7
Preparation time: 30 min
Cooking time: 60 min
Level: Intermediate

Ingredients:
4 chicken breast fillets
1 tbsp. vegetable oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 cup coconut milk
1 large red sweet pepper, chopped
1 green sweet pepper, chopped
1 tbsp. chopped roasted garlic
Salt and pepper to taste
1 pinch red pepper flakes


Direction:
Season the chicken, and leave to marinate for 30 minutes.
Chop the sweet peppers, onion, and roasted garlic.
Chop the fresh coconut to make the coconut milk. This can be done by hand or with a blender.
Heat the oil in a large pot or frying pan.
Saute the seasoned chicken until it begins to brown.
Then add the onion and garlic.  Saute until the onion looks translucent.
Pour in the coconut milk.
Allow to simmer for 10 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper flakes.
Transfer the chicken and sauce into a casserole or baking dish.  Top with the sweet pepper.
(Note: The sweet pepper was added last so that it can retain some of its vibrant colour.)
Bake the chicken in the oven for 220 degrees C or for 45 minutes until the chicken is tender.
