Saturday Recipe For Sunday.........Yummy!

CHICKEN STIR FRY.

Ingredients

• Yellow bell Pepper
• Red bell pepper
• Green bell pepper
• Scotch bonnet (Ata rodo) *Optional
• Chicken strips
• White onions
• Spring Onions
• Green Beans
• Peas
• Irish Potato (Boiled and diced)
• Carrot
• Olive / Groundnut oil
• Seasoning (Maggi, salt, curry, etc)

Prepare the Chicken

Wash the chicken strips and place in a bowl.

Add some oil and seasoning (maggi, curry, thyme and salt) to the chicken strip and toss with your hand.

Refrigerate.

Prepare the Vegetables

Wash and de-seed all the Peppers and slice. *The trick is neither to slice too thin nor too long*

Wash and Scrape the carrots clean and slice in a similar method as the pepper.

Repeat same for all ingredients

NB – I prefer to cut all my veggies in separate bowls as they take different times to become tender.

Cook time

• Pour some oil (About 2cooking spoonful) in a deep pan or pot and heat
• Take out the refrigerated chicken and fry till golden brown.
• Remove chicken and reduce the heat to medium
• Add the red onions and scotch bonnet (Ata rodo) to the oil and fry for about 2mins (stir)
• Add the carrots, green beans, Peas and fry for another 2mins (Stir)
• Add all other vegetables, the diced potatoes and the fried chicken strips (Stir)
• Cover pot and reduce heat to low. Allow to simmer for about 5mins or till the veggies are tender.

NB – If the chicken was well seasoned, you would not need extra seasoning. If not, please season to taste.

To get this beautiful vibrant color, try not to overcook the veggies.

I served mine with Basmati Rice. Beautiful meal for a Sunday afternoon.

Bon Apetite!!!
