The recipe was taken from a recent issue of BBC Good Food magazine, which I was very chuffed to find in a book store over here. It's usually a month out of date - but I can cope with that. I'm usually late for everything anyway!!
Brazillian Chicken
Serves 6
6 Chicken breasts
3 tbsp olive oil
2 onions
1 chile
2 cloves garlic
1 can tomatoes
1 can coconut milk
handful chopped coriander
- Heat olive oil in a large pan, and brown chicken for about 1o mins, turning over to do both sides
- Set chicken on a plate to one side
- Put onions, chile and garlic in a food processor. Whizz to make a paste. (I also added 4 small sweet capsicums from the fridge that needed using up, so not sure how authentic my end dish was!)
- Add the onion paste to the pan, and cook in the oil (left from the chicken) for about 10 minutes until soft.
- Add the can of tomatoes to the cooked onion mixture, and then return the chicken to the pan. Simmer for about 15 minutes.
- Stir in coconut milk to the chicken mixture.
- Simmer for further 15 mins until sauce is thickened.
- Sprinkle over a good handful of chopped coriander to serve.
We had ours with garlic bread, and green salad. Could also be served with rice, or whatever you fancy!

Had this for tea tonight - gorgeous! I'm not usually a huge fan of tomato based sauces but the coconut milk totally transformed it. Both kids loved it too!
