From the Chef

“Your favorite chicken parts can be used instead of a whole chicken. For added heat, mince on Scotch Bonnet pepper and add in with onions. One cup of chick peas added with the water increases the vitamins.”

Ingredients

3 pounds chicken parts or pieces, cut up
1 teaspoon ginger root, minced
2 fresh limes
1 medium apple, peeled and cubed
1 cup onions, chopped
1 large potato, peeled and cubed
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 8 teaspoon pepper
1½ tablespoon Madras curry powder
½ quart chicken stock
½ teaspoon Cajun spice
1 - 14 ounce can of coconut milk
1 cup chick peas, canned

Instructions

1. Cut chicken into serving pieces.

2. Squeeze the juice of the limes in a large bowl, add chicken pieces and toss, then drain.
