Ingredients

• 2 pounds skinless chicken cut into pieces
• 4 pounds ripe plantains peeled and cut into bite-size pieces
• 1 large onion peeled and diced
• 1 tbsp green seasoning paste or garlic ginger paste.
• 5 large ripe tomatoes diced
• 1 cup carrots peeled and cut into bite-size pieces
• 1 cup green beans chopped
• ¼ cup olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 seasoning cubes
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp parsley
• habanero pepper optional
• 1 tsp chili flakes optional

Instructions

1. Heat oil in a large skillet and fry the plantains till well cooked and golden brown. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and sauté for about 3 minutes till nicely browned.
3. To that, add green seasoning paste and sauté till fragrant; about 1 minute.
4. At this point, add salt, seasoning cube, pepper and sauté for 30 seconds.
5. Follow by adding the tomatoes, and fry the tomatoes till well broken down and cooked.
6. Add chicken and habanero pepper and stir till well coated with the tomato sauce. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot and cook the chicken for 20 minutes without adding water. The chicken will produce some of its juices, so don't worry.
