Instructions
- Mix the chicken with the lime juice, crushed garlic, crushed chili and salt, then leave to marinate for at least 1 hour in the fridge.
- Heat the oil in a casserole dish and brown the chicken pieces on all sides, about 8 minutes.
- Add the sliced onions and shallots and cook until translucent.
- Stir in the diced pepper and tomatoes, the thyme and the clove, then cover and simmer gently for 30 minutes.
- Add half a glass of water if the sauce is too thick, adjust the seasoning and reduce uncovered for 5 minutes.
- Serve the chicken coated in its sauce, with white rice.
Variations and tips
Mild version for kids. Reduce the chili to half a pod for a gentle, fragrant flavour without the heat.
