👨🍳 Ohjeet
- 1
Prepare the breadfruit: Peel the breadfruit, remove the core, and cut into approximately 1-inch cubes. Rinse the cubes under cold water.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: If breadfruit is very ripe, it will be softer and cook faster. - 2
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- 3
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 4
Add the bite-sized chicken pieces to the pot and cook until lightly browned on all sides.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: Don't overcrowd the pot; brown the chicken in batches if necessary. - 5
Add the prepared breadfruit cubes to the pot. Pour in the thick coconut cream and water (or chicken broth). Stir to combine.
- 6
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the breadfruit is tender and the chicken is cooked through. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: The breadfruit should be fork-tender but not mushy. - 7
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir well.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving. - 8
Serve hot as a complete meal, or with a side of steamed greens.
