My favorite part of this picture is the plastic silverware on either side of the plate. Yes, we washed and re-used plastic silverware while waiting for our silverware to be shipped to us from Bed Bath and Beyond. After a few weeks of plastic silverware, it seemed rather normal to me. But then our silverware arrived and I remembered what real forks felt like! Anyway, I found a Brazilian Chicken recipe on allrecipes.com but only had about half of the ingredients so I adjusted it to use what I had. Below is my version of the recipe:
Brazilian Chicken
2 boneless chicken breasts
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder
salt and pepper to taste
1 Tbl ginger
2 Tbl olive oil
1 onion chopped
1 green pepper chopped
1/2 to 1 red pepper chopped
3 tomatoes chopped
minced garlic to taste
1 can coconut milk
chopped cilantro
1. Salt and pepper the chicken breasts to taste. Mix cumin and chili powder and rub all sides of chicken breasts.
2. Heat 1 Tbl olive oil in skillet and cook chicken on medium high until no longer pink. In separate skillet, use remaining 1 Tbl. olive oil and cook onion, green pepper, red pepper, and garlic until tender. Add tomatoes, coconut milk, and ginger and cook for about 8 more minutes on medium heat. Add cilantro to taste in the last few minutes of cooking.
3. Serve over rice and garnish with cilantro.
I also served chips and guacamole on the side. Kind of random but my husband and I LOVE chips and salsa as well as chips and guacamole. Dinner had an excellent flavor and I can't wait until I can make this again! Looks like I'll have to make a new breakfast sometime so I can repeat this dish in the evening!
