3 lb Chicken fryer, cut into
1 x Portion-sized pieces

2 c Coconut milk
1 ea Sprig fresh parsley
1 ts Dried thyme
1 x Or 1 sprig fresh
1/4 c Coconut oil

Towel dry the chicken. In a large, heavy skillet,
heat the oil. Add chicken pieces and fry until lightly
browned. Remove from the skillet a aside. in the
same skillet, saute the onion, garlic, and mushrooms
for 3 minutes. Return the chicken to the skillet and
add the coconut milk a and pepper to taste. Tie the
parsley, hot pepper, and thyme in a cheese pouch to
form a bouquet garni, and add to the skillet. Cover
and simmer the chicken is tender, about 1 1/4 hours.
Remove the bouquet garni and the chicken with rice. My
own notes: Just tried this recipe out making a few
additions. When the browned chicken back into the
skillet with the coconut milk, etc., I added 3 riped
plantains, sliced, a few Caribbean root vegetables
(e.g. y diced small, a little brown sugar, 2 packets
of Sazon spice mix, curry p and 2 or 3 tablespoons of
rum. The plantains pretty much melted into th but the
root vegetables held their shape. All in all the sauce
was swee which I wanted it to be) and delicious over
the rice.
