For The Chicken:

  • 1 and 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil (or achiote oil)
  • 1 lb (450 g) skinless chicken
  • 1 tsp ground paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/4 tsp achiote/annatto powder (optional)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

For The Coconut Sauce:

  • 1 medium yellow onion (minced)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tomato (minced)
  • 1/2 tsp ground paprika
  • 1/4 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/4 tsp achiote/annatto powder (optional)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1 tbsp tomato sauce or ketchup
  • 1/4 cup (25 g) unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 can (450 ml) unsweetened canned coconut milk (room temperature)
  • 2 bay leaves
  • Cilantro (optional, chopped, for topping)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Chicken:
    • Heat the vegetable oil (or achiote oil) in a large skillet over medium heat.
    • Season the skinless chicken with ground paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, achiote/annatto powder (if using), salt, and pepper.
    • Cook the chicken in the skillet until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  • Make the Coconut Sauce:
    • In the same skillet, add the minced yellow onion and garlic. Sauté until fragrant.
    • Add the minced tomato, ground paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, achiote/annatto powder (if using), salt, and pepper. Cook until the tomato softens.
    • Stir in the tomato sauce or ketchup, unsweetened shredded coconut, and coconut milk. Mix well.
    • Add the bay leaves and bring the sauce to a simmer.
  • Combine and Cook:
    • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, coating it with the coconut sauce.
    • Simmer for a few minutes until the flavors meld and the sauce thickens slightly.
    • Remove from heat and garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use achiote oil instead of vegetable oil.
  • Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
  • Serve with rice or your favorite side dish.
