Ingredients

Servings
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt divided or more to taste
  • 6 chicken thighs About 1.59 pounds or 722 grams, boneless, skinless, thoroughly pat-dried
  • 2 teaspoons paprika sweet, powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 cup chicken broth 225 ml, or stock
  • ¼ cup coconut cream 85 grams
  • 2 cups Plantain chips 105 grams, see note

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Season the bottom of the pan with a few pinches of salt.
  2. Arrange the chicken thighs so they snuggly fit into the pan next to each other, and season with the remaining salt.
  3. Pan-fry for 5 to 7 minutes, then use a fork to turn them around. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes—season with paprika and onion powder.
  4. Pour in the broth and the coconut cream.
  5. Divide the plantain chips over and in between the chicken thighs. Cover and let it gently simmer over medium-low heat for 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through, flavors have developed, and plantain chips have softened.

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Tips:
  • Pat dry the chicken thoroughly with paper towels before cooking.
  • When pan-frying, don't move the chicken for the first 5 to 7 minutes. You can peak at the 5-minute mark. But the chicken thighs will usually easily loosen from the pan when sufficiently browned. Let them cook longer if they seem to stick to the pan.
  • Use the thickest part of a coconut cream can, if possible. Otherwise, shake the can to combine the liquid and creamy parts sufficiently. 
  • Allow the plantain chips to become mushy. Check halfway through cooking time to ensure they are well dunked into the sauce. 
  • Plantain chips: Go for a salted roasted plantain chips, but for a spicier touch, try a Jerk-Style Flavored plantain chips. 
  • Salt: Adjust the amount of salt to taste if you're using very salted plantain chips.
  • Serving tip: It tastes best when served with a simple, refreshing salad like this Healthy Cucumber Salad or Mango Avocado Salad.
