Supplies needed: oven, cast iron pan, and cutting board/knife
Ingredients
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
2 tbsp coconut oil
1 large red bell pepper (or 2 small ones), thinly sliced
1 leek, thinly sliced
4-6 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp grated fresh ginger
1/2 tsp Pepper Joe’s Peach Ghost Powder
1/2 tsp Pepper Joe’s Trinidad Scorpion Butch T Flakes
1 tbsp Pepper Joe’s Pineapple Reaper Hot Sauce
1 tbsp red curry paste
1 can full-fat coconut milk, 14 ounces (don’t use light or the sauce won’t thicken properly)
3 tbsp fresh cilantro, sliced
Cooked brown rice, cheese wontons, or sourdough bread for serving
Directions
Place a rack in the center of your oven, and preheat to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Season the chicken with salt and black pepper.
In a large, ovenproof skillet/pot or Dutch Oven, melt the coconut oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear on both sides until golden brown. Transfer chicken to a plate.
Reduce heat to medium low. Add more coconut oil if pan is dry. Add bell pepper(s), leek, garlic, and ginger, and stir to combine. Cook for about 2 minutes or until slightly softened.
Stir in the Peach Ghost Powder, Trinidad Butch T Flakes, Pineapple Reaper Hot Sauce, and curry paste. Cook for 5 additional minutes, stirring occasionally. Slowly pour in the coconut milk while stirring to combine. Return chicken to the skillet/pot or Dutch oven.
Place the skillet in the oven and cook for 25 minutes, or until a thermometer says 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Top with cilantro and more Pineapple Reaper Hot Sauce, if desired. Serve with cooked rice, wontons, or sourdough bread. Enjoy!
