ingredients

1,5 KG chicken breast (3.3 lbs, sliced)
1 CUP sundried tomatoes (chopped)
2 CUP cherry tomatoes (halved)
1 CUP chicken stock
1 CUP scallion green (sliced)
1 CUP scallion (sliced)
1/2 CUP red bell pepper puree
2 X garlic clove (chopped)

2 X red chile (chopped)
3-4 TBSP olive or veg oil
1 TBSP coriander seed
1 TBSP cumin seed
1 TBSP ground celery seeds
1 TBSP honey
1 TBSP lime juice
1 TSP salt and pepper (to taste)



chop up the sundried tomatoes, red chile and garlic



dry-roast cumin and coriander until fragrant



add bell pepper puree, red chile, sundried tomatoes, cumin and coriander to a blender



pulse-blend with oil or a sip of water if the paste is to thick for the blender




blend until smooth, then add the green chile and pulse one or two times to keep it chunky



combine chicken and paste, mix well, marinate and refrigerate over night



the next day remove the chicken from the fridge around 30-60 min before cooking,
prep the scallions, cherry tomatoes and cook the rice (rice cooker <3)



heat a big pan with lots of surface and brown the chicken, work in batches and
don't overcrowd the pan, one layer at the time, park on a plate and repeat



deglaze the pan with the chicken stock and return all of the chicken



then add the cherry tomatoes and most of the scallions (keep some for garnish)



simmer until homogeneous, then season with honey, lime juice, ground celery seeds, salt and pepper



serve on rice and garnish with sliced scallions, this recipe is good for around 6 servings
