Step by step recipe

• 1: Skin 1 smoked chicken, keeping only flesh (discard skin and bones), then cut out into small pieces.
• 2: In large pan, heat 4 tablespoons palm oil (or olive oil), then add chopped 1 onion, salt and pepper.
  Cook for a few minutes without browning too much.
• 3: Add chicken pieces.
• 4: Stir well, and cook a few minutes while stirring so it doesn't catch on the bottom.
• 5: Pour in half of 250 ml tomato coulis.
• 6: Stir well.
• 7: Pour in 150 ml unsweetened coconut milk, stir well.
• 8: Cover and leave to cook on low heat for at least an hour.
• 9: Meanwhile heat 1 tablespoon palm oil in a frying pan, then add 125 g small pieces of bacon and cook for a few minutes until they are lightly fried.
  Set aside.
• 10: In another pan, heat 2 tablespoons palm oil, then add drained and rinsed 500 g tinned red kidney beans.
  Cook one or two minutes while stirring so that that they do not burn on bottom.
• 11: Add remaining tomato coulis, then fried bacon, and 125 g button or field mushrooms if desired.
• 12: Stir well and leave to cook covered on low heat until chicken has its full cooking time.
  Meanwhile cook rice.
• 13: To serve, put rice onto a plate, add beans on top, then chicken.

Remarks

You can easily replace palm oil with olive oil, for a tastier dish tomato coulis by tomato sauce for pizzas.
It's a meal which can easily be re-heated or frozen. So do not hesitate to make a good deal of it, even if it's for the first time.
