3 Reviews of Chicken in Coconut Milk from Madagascar

This was fabulous, great blend of flavours and the chicken was really tender. The slightly sour ingredients offset the sweetness of the coconut milk and gave a great balance I really appreciated. Rather than start with a whole chicken I cooked two breasts as a very generous serving for two but used the described quantities of everything else, I think for a whole chicken it would make very satisfying meal for four, or six with a few steamed vegetables as well as rice. To fill in a few of the gaps I found with whole chicken breasts step 3 took about 30 minutes over medium heat while covered (probably would be more like 20 if the chicken was diced) and the simmering of the sauce in step 5 took 30 minutes as well but I used a low-medium heat so it kept at a moderate simmer so it reduced to a nice consistency.

Whoa! The taste here is just so perfect! I love the mixture of everything in it! I scaled down the recipe to 1 serving using chicken breast but it's actually enough for 2! So cool! Lemon/tomatoes/coconut makes a great blend of flavors! I also served this with your Coconut Rice from Zanzibar . Keeper! Thanks! Made for WZT4.
