Ingredients

5 chicken thighs
Olive oil for frying
2 bunch parsley
8 stalks green onions chopped
½ cup olive oil
2 inches ginger root grated
2 stalks celery chopped
2 tsp garlic minced

Fresh Ground Black Pepper to Taste (Use code FF20 for 20% off)
Salt to taste
1 chicken bouillon cube
1 handful green beans ends trimmed and washed
1 red bell pepper chopped
2 carrots peeled and sliced into rounds
3 plantains slightly ripe, sliced into rounds about one inch thick

Instructions

Season your chicken to taste with black pepper and salt.
Coat the bottom of your pan in olive oil, about ⅛-1/4 inc thick. Heat the oil in a large pan on your stove top.
Fry the chicken on both sides until it turns brown but doesn’t cook all the way through.
Remove the chicken and set on a plate.
Blend parsley, green onion, olive oil, ginger, garlic, celery, white pepper, and salt in a blender.
Add the blender mixture into the large pan along with a bouillon cube and heat for a few moments until the bouillon cube melts.
Add ¼ cup water, green beans, carrots, and red bell pepper into the pot and cook for about 15 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add chicken back in and cook, covered for another 20.
While the chicken is cooking, slice the plantains into inch slices. Fry them in a little bit of oil so that they become slightly crispy and cook through.
After the chicken and vegetables are done cooking, arrange the plantains in the pan. Serve and enjoy!
