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

Add chopped onions, garlic, and ginger; sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Stir in diced green bell pepper and tomatoes; cook for another 3-4 minutes.

Add chicken pieces to the pot; brown on all sides for about 5-7 minutes.

Pour in coconut milk and bring to a simmer.

Add bay leaves, thyme, salt, and black pepper; stir well.

Cover and simmer for 30-40 minutes until chicken is cooked through.

In the last 10 minutes, add sliced carrots and chopped green onions.

Adjust seasoning with lime juice and additional salt if needed.

Serve hot with rice or bread.
