Cast Iron Skillet Chicken Recipe

In Cameroon there’s a scrumptious chicken recipe called Poulet DG, which is really just a fancy name for Cast Iron Skillet Chicken Recipe. The chicken thighs are cooked in a cast iron skillet alongside vegetables like bell peppers, green beans, and plantains and then coated in a yummy parsley sauce.

  5. Blend parsley, green onion, olive oil, ginger, garlic, celery, white pepper, and salt in a blender.
  6. Add the blender mixture into the large pan along with a bouillon cube and heat for a few moments until the bouillon cube melts.

  8. Add chicken back in and cook, covered for another 20.
  9. While the chicken is cooking, slice the plantains into inch slices. Fry them in a little bit of oil so that they become slightly crispy and cook through.
  10. After the chicken and vegetables are done cooking, arrange the plantains in the pan. Serve and enjoy!
