Use firm plantains, which won't go mushy when browned. Try smoked paprika for a different flavour, or try sweet paprika.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1-1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 3 lb chicken pieces
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 ripe plantains, (1 lb/500 g total), peeled and sliced
  • 6 cloves garlic, sliced
  • 3 onions, sliced
  • 1/2 cup white wine or chicken stock
  • 2 limes, quartered

Preparation

In small bowl, combine paprika, cumin, 3/4 tsp (4 mL) of the salt and 1/4 tsp (1 mL) of the pepper; rub over chicken.

In shallow Dutch oven or large deep ovenproof skillet , heat 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the oil over medium-high heat; brown chicken. Transfer to plate.

Add remaining oil to pan; brown plantains, turning once, about 2 minutes. Transfer to separate plate.

Drain off any fat in pan. Add garlic, onions and remaining salt and pepper; cook until onions are softened, 5 minutes. Add wine and bring to boil, scraping up brown bits from bottom of pan.

Return plantains to pan. Arrange chicken and any accumulated juices on top. Bake in 375°F (190°C) oven until juices run clear when chicken is pierced and skin is crispy, about 40 minutes. Serve with lime wedges to squeeze over top.
