Today, I am excited to share a unique and flavorful dish that combines unexpected ingredients to create a truly special meal. This recipe is perfect for a cozy dinner party with friends or a quiet night in with your loved ones.

Ingredients:

  • purple sweet potatoes
  • plantain
  • cremini mushrooms
  • coconut milk
  • chicken thighs
  • thyme
  • lime
  • coconut oil
  • ginger

Kitchen Tools:

  • chef’s knife
  • cutting board
  • skillet
  • colander

Preparation:

To start, peel and dice the purple sweet potatoes and plantain. Slice the cremini mushrooms and chop the ginger. Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and thyme.

In a skillet, heat coconut oil over medium heat. Brown the chicken thighs on both sides, then remove from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, sauté the mushrooms, ginger, and diced sweet potatoes. Once the vegetables are browned, add the coconut milk and lime juice.

Return the chicken thighs to the skillet and let simmer until the chicken is fully cooked. Serve the dish hot, garnished with thyme leaves and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. The creamy coconut sauce pairs perfectly with the earthy mushrooms and sweet plantains.

Tips:

For an extra burst of flavor, try adding a splash of coconut aminos or soy sauce to the dish before serving. This will enhance the umami notes and add a savory depth to the creamy sauce.

Serving:

This dish serves 4 and each serving weighs approximately 350 grams. One serving is around 400 calories.
