  1. NICE RICE

    Place the rice in a pot with 200ml [400ml]|#7DA0D7 of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.

  2. COCONUT CRUNCH

    Place the coconut flakes in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  3. INTO THE PAN

    Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the Chicken dry with paper towel and season. When hot, fry the chicken until browned, 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and set aside (note the chicken will not yet be cooked through).

  4. BRAZILIAN SAUCE

    Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil (if necessary). Fry the Onion and pepper until soft, 6-8 minutes (shifting constantly). Add the Brazilian spice mix and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the cooked chopped tomatoes and the coconut milk. Simmer until the sauce has reduced slightly, 3-4 minutes. Season well and transfer the sauce to a blender. Blend until smooth and season.

  5. ALL TOGETHER

    Return the Chicken to the pan, along with the Brazilian sauce and 150ml [300ml]|#7DA0D7 of water to medium heat. Cover with a lid and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 8-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and add a sweetener (to taste).

  6. WHAT A GREAT PLATE

    Just before serving, mix ½ the chives through the rice. Plate up the rice, top with the Chicken pieces and the Brazilian sauce. Drizzle over the lime juice (to taste) and garnish with the remaining chives and the coconut flakes.
