Instructions
- In a pot with hot oil, sear chicken over medium-high heat to color on all sides.
- Add onion, leeks and peppers. Stir and leave about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the tomatoes, celery and tomato paste and mix well. Cook on medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring regularly.
- Cover with water, salt, pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes.
- Then remove 2 pieces of chicken, place the plantains, cover them with the spinach and put the chicken back on top. Add water if necessary so that the bananas are fully submerged.
- Cover, add the whole hot pepper, and simmer over low heat for about 25 minutes. The liquid should not evaporate too much during cooking, as there should be a lot of sauce left.
