Ingredients

  • Marinade
  • 1 lb Boneless chicken thighs (455g)
  • 1 tbsp cassareep
  • 4 tbsp green seasoning
  • 1 inch of ginger grated
  • 1 tsp of onion powder optional
  • 1 tsp of garlic granules or powder
  • 1/2 tsp of chinese 5 spice
  • 1 tsp of black pepper
  • 1 tsp of pink salt
  • The Rest
  • 2 zucchini's peeled and spiralised into noodles
  • 4 garlic cloves chopped
  • 1 small onion sliced
  • 2 medium carrots julienne
  • 2 Bell peppers red and green julienne
  • A handful of Bora long green beans, chopped in small pieces
  • 2 Scallion sliced
  • 1/2 wiri wiri peppers/Scotch bonnet optional
  • Salt and pepper if needed extra to taste
  • 2 tbsp of coconut oil

Directions

  • Start by placing the chicken thighs in a medium sized bowl then add the grated ginger, green seasoning, cassareep, garlic (granules or powder) Chinese five spice, black pepper and pink salt.
  • Marinate the chicken (using hands or tongs) to ensure the chicken is evenly combined then wrap and set aside for at least an hour (overnight is preferred).
  • Melt coconut oil in a heavy duty work or large frying pan/skillet on medium/high heat and proceed to sear (brown) the chicken on both sides.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and allow the meat to cook through and this should take 10-15 minutes.
  • Add the onion and garlic and saute for 1-2 minutes until soft.
  • Then add the vegetables - carrots, bora (green beans), scallion and bell peppers. Fold in the vegetables so they are mixed in with the chicken pieces.
  • Cover the vegetables with a lid for 5 minutes, there should be enough liquid in the pan to do a quick steam of the vegetables so they are completely soft. If not add a splash of water (not too much) to do.
  • Remove the lid, if there is excess liquid increase the heat to high to cook off the excess liquid.
  • Finally fold in the vegetable noodles, heat them through.
  • Do a taste test and adjust for pink salt and black pepper for serving.
