Brazilian Coconut Chicken

Ingredients

• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp ground cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp ground turmeric
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 4 chicken breasts, chopped into cubes
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger
• 2 green chillies, seeded and chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tomatoes, seeded and chopped
• 1 (400ml) tin light coconut milk

Method

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the spices and place the chicken in, seasoning with salt and pepper.
2. Rub the chicken all over with the spice mix until it has an even coating. (May have to do in batches.)
3. Heat some olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat and place the chicken in the frying pan. Cook 10-15 minutes each side until cooked. Remove and set aside. Chop into hearty chunks.
4. Add more oil to the frying pan and cook the onions, ginger, garlic and chilli for 5 minutes or until tender. Mix in the tomatoes and continue cooking. Stir in the coconut milk and simmer for 5 minutes, adding the chicken in at the end to heat through.
5. Serve over fragrant, spiced rice.
