Rub the chicken thighs with half the salt and the black pepper, and slice the plantains diagonally.
Cut the carrots into thin sticks, the green beans into short pieces, and the red pointed pepper into strips.
Fry the plantains in half the vegetable oil for 5 minutes, until golden, then transfer to a plate.
Sear the chicken in the same pan for 10 minutes, until all sides take color.
Soften the onion, garlic, and ginger in the remaining oil for 5 minutes.
Add the tomato puree, carrots, green beans, red pointed pepper, and remaining salt.
Add the chicken to the sauce, cover, and cook for 28 minutes.
Add the plantains and chopped parsley, turn together for 4 minutes, and serve.
💡 Tip: If the plantain skin is yellow with black spots, it gives sweetness when fried; fully green ones stay too firm for this dish.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve poulet DG family-style with optional hot sauce, plain rice, and lemony green salad.
