- 1
Season the chicken pieces generously with salt and pepper. Heat about 1/4 cup of vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken in batches until golden brown on all sides. Remove chicken and set aside. Reserve the oil.

In the same pot, add a little more oil if needed. Add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent. Add minced garlic and ginger, cook until fragrant.

Add the chopped tomatoes and tomato paste. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes until the tomatoes have broken down and the sauce has thickened.

Stir in the sliced carrots, green beans, chopped bell peppers, crumbled bouillon cubes, and the optional whole scotch bonnet pepper. Cook for 5 minutes.

Return the fried chicken to the pot. Add about 1/2 cup of water if needed. Stir everything together, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the vegetables to soften slightly.

While the chicken and vegetables are simmering, heat the remaining oil in a separate skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the sliced plantains until golden brown and slightly caramelized. Drain on paper towels.

Gently stir the fried plantains into the chicken and vegetable mixture. Add the chopped parsley and scallions. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring gently to avoid breaking the plantains. Remove the whole scotch bonnet pepper before serving.
đĄ Proffstips
- âUse ripe but firm plantains for frying; they should be yellow with some black spots.
- âAdjust the amount of chili pepper to your spice preference.
- âIf you prefer, you can bake or air-fry the chicken instead of frying.
