Typical African Village Cooking Chicken for lunch#uganda

Cut the whole chicken into pieces and season with salt and black pepper.

Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.

Add the chicken pieces and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove the chicken and set aside, leaving the oil in the pot.

Add chopped onions, garlic, and ginger to the pot; sauté until onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in chopped tomatoes and green bell pepper; cook until tomatoes soften, about 5 minutes.

Add diced carrots and cook for another 3 minutes.

Return the chicken to the pot and pour in the chicken broth and coconut milk.

Add coriander, cumin, paprika, and salt; stir to combine.

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover and cook for 30-40 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

Check for doneness; the internal temperature should reach 165°F.

Remove the lid and let the sauce reduce for another 5-10 minutes if it's too thin.

Stir in lime juice and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
