Reviews
Brown the chicken first after seasoning it with red pepper, black pepper, garlic and salt. Then place on top of the vegetables. With the spice mixture just use 1 cup chicken broth, add about a 1 tsp salt and whisk together with the other ingredients. This will concentrate the favor, plus the added salt will make this dish pop.
Good. Different. I wanted something I wouldn’t usually cook or eat so this fit the bill. Yes it needs more flavor. Def double the spices like people have said. I added a Thai garlic hot sauce on top was like flavor / kick it needed
Lacked flavor. I added creme fraiche and it helped a bit. Wouldn’t make again though, I was the only one who ate it in my family.
Clearly I had more luck with it than others. I doubled the spices and mixed the chicken into the stew for the last hour, but it landed up with good flavor and texture.
Really lacked any significant flavor. The chicken was tender and decent, but absolutely nothing especially tasty about this dish. We ate it (have two teenage boys who arrived home starving from sports) but immediately asked what we were having for dinner “tomorrow”. Won’t make again.
We were not fans. It’s all just ok. For me the flavors just didn’t really meld well. The chicken was juicy and tender, but I don’t really enjoy the appearance of steamed chicken. Most of it will be tossed, unfortunately.
