Best 3 Poulet A La Creole Curried Chicken With Pineapple Cucumber And Coconut Recipes

PERUVIAN PINEAPPLE CHICKEN (POLLO A LA PINA)

Steps:

• Whisk soy sauce, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cumin together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add chicken medallions and toss to evenly coat. Set aside to marinate.
• Combine pineapple chunks, syrup, and sugar in a medium pot over medium-high heat; bring to a boil. Boil until sugar has dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the stove, transfer pineapple chunks to a bowl, and leave syrup in the pot.
• Place potato starch in a bowl. Dredge marinated chicken medallions in potato starch; shake off excess.
• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, working in batches and adding more oil if necessary, and fry until golden brown and crunchy, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Heat remaining 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a wok. Add tomato paste; cook and stir until paste darkens, being careful it does not burn. Add bell pepper and cook until slightly softened but still crispy, 1 to 2 minutes. Mix in chicken medallions and pineapple chunks. Slowly mix in some of the syrup until mixture is lightly glazed; reserve remaining syrup for another use. Sprinkle with green onions.

POULET A LA REGINA

Steps:

• Remove the tendon from the chicken. Cut the eggplant, tomatoes, onion and squash into small cubes. Cut the peppers in half and remove the seeds and the white skin inside. Rinse chickpeas until water runs clear, strain and put aside. Heat fry pan to high, when hot add butter and let it brown lightly. Add chicken and season with salt and pepper. When the chicken is brown but not completely cooked, remove from heat and set aside.
• Put fresh butter in the pan with the onions and let cook for a couple minutes, then add the peppers, eggplant and squash. If the pan becomes too dry add some more butter and the juice from the tomatoes. When cooked to more or less soft add the white wine. Reduce until a glaze forms, add the tomatoes at the last minute as well as the chicken. As soon as you add the last 2 ingredients turn off the flame. The chicken is still undercooked but it will slowly heat up with the vegetables. Check the seasoning, add the chiffonade of basil, bring to high heat and serve immediately. Decorate with a pretty basil leaf.
