Notes
This chicken recipe can be served as a main or side dish. It can be served with pasta, couscous or rice. But also served alongside french fries, fried plantains or fried sweet potatoes.
Another thing I do is make beans/peas/vegetables, then add them into this chicken mixture. Let it simmer on low heat for about 5-10 minutes and serve.
Lastly, adjust the ingredients measurements and seasonings to your own liking.
The more onions you use, the more sauce you get.
The more tender you want the onions, the more water you add while cooking.
So make it your own if you want.
Let me know if you try this recipe! 🙂
