You could book a Caribbean cruise, or you could try this tropical treat. Rich, smooth coconut milk is simmered with sauteed chicken breasts, onions, colorful bell peppers and roasted garlic. Turn up the heat with a dash of red pepper flakes.
INGREDIENTS (for 4 servings):
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 onions, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 tablespoon chopped roasted garlic
- 1/2 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
PREPARATION:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
In a large skillet, fry chicken breast in vegetable oil until the chicken just begins to brown.
Stir onions, green bell peppers and red bell peppers into the skillet with the chicken. Saute until the onions are translucent. When the vegetables are translucent, stir in the garlic and coconut milk. Let the mixture cook 5 to 8 minutes before removing the skillet from the heat. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Transfer the mixture to a 9x13 inch baking dish and bake in a 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) oven for 45 minutes, or until the vegetables cook down and the chicken is tender.
