1

Start by marinating the boneless chicken with curry powder, thyme, salt, and cornstarch. Mix everything together, cover, and let it marinate in the fridge.

2

Peel and chop the Idaho potatoes into desired sizes. Season the potatoes with curry powder, thyme, and salt.

3

Add enough water to the seasoned potatoes, cover, and bring to a boil. Boil for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the potatoes, but do not overcook them.

4

While the potatoes are boiling, prepare the plantains by slicing them and sprinkling salt over them. Mix the salt into the plantains.

5

Heat oil in a pan and start frying the salted plantains until they are golden brown, flipping them to ensure even cooking.

6

After 5 minutes of boiling, check the potatoes. They should be firm but infused with flavor. Drain the potatoes and set them aside for frying.

7

Using the same oil from frying the plantains, fry the boiled potatoes until they become very crunchy. This should take about 3 minutes.

8

In a separate pan, add oil and heat it. Once hot, add the marinated chicken and stir-fry until it is cooked through and golden brown. Transfer the chicken to a bowl once done.

9

In the same pan, add chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent. Then add chopped fresh tomatoes and fry for about 1 minute.

10

Add thyme and curry powder to the sautéed onions and tomatoes, mixing everything together. Continue frying for another minute.

11

Return the cooked chicken to the pan with the onion and tomato mixture, stirring to combine everything well.

12

Add the chopped bell peppers (yellow, green, and red) to the stir-fry and mix properly. Cook for about 1 minute, then turn off the heat to avoid overcooking the vegetables.

13

Taste the stir-fry and add more salt and seasoning cubes if needed, mixing well before serving.
