Report
Chicken Bicol Express is easy to make yet packs big on flavor. Stewed in coconut milk and chili peppers, it's creamy, spicy, and delicious with steamed rice.

Instructions
- In a wide pan over medium heat, heat oil. Add onions, garlic, and ginger. Cook until aromatic.
- Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned.
- Add shrimp paste and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 1 to 2 minutes until meat is evenly coated.
- Add coconut cream and Thai chili peppers.
- Bring to a simmer, cover, and continue to cook for about 20 to 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and sauce is reduced and begins to render fat.
- Add finger chilies and continue to cook for about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
Notes
- If using bottled raw shrimp paste, rinse and drain well to rid of the extra saltiness and the bright color that might otherwise bleed into the dish.
- For a smooth, creamy sauce, cook in a simmer as boiling the coconut milk or heating it too quickly will make it curdle or separate.
