Polynesian Chicken Fafa

Stew made of chicken, rice, onion, garlic, coconut milk, and spinach. Topped with shredded coconut. I serve this with warm tortillas. It reminds me of a dish we ate in Fiji.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon butter
• ⅓ cup shredded coconut
• 2 cups water
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ¼ cup chopped onion
• 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
• 1 ½ cups uncooked long grain white rice
• 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1 inch pieces

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

In a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Stir in the onion and garlic, and cook 2 minutes. Mix in the coconut milk, water, rice, and chicken, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 20 minutes, until rice is tender and chicken juices run clear.

Step 2

Stir the spinach into the skillet, and cook just until heated through. Sprinkle with coconut, and serve.
