A skillet dish with chicken, rice and coconut. The original calls for boneless chicken breast, but I prefer chicken thighs.

CHICKEN FAFA



Chicken Fafa image

This is a version of a Tahitian dish, since Taro is hard to come by in the U.S. I substitute it with spinach leaves. This is also a mild dish. Serve this dish with rice, I prefer sticky rice, but any other kind works well. For different flavors try jasmine rice.
