1 teaspoon paprika
1 onion, diced
2 chicken bouillon cubes
Juice of 2 limes
100g tomato paste
2 tablespoons oil
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1/4 cup water
Salt to taste
What to do:
Wash the chicken well and marinate it with lime juice, garlic, ginger and salt. Add the oil to a non-stick pan over medium heat and pan-sear the chicken until golden brown on each side.
Add in the diced onions and mix well. Once the onions are soft, add the herbs, starting with mint, then oregano and finally basil. Mix well.
Now add the paprika and crumble in the chicken bouillon cubes. Continue to cook until the flavours combine well. Add the tomato paste and mix well, then add the 1/4 cup of water. Bring to a boil and cook until the liquid has reduced.
Add the juice of the remaining 2 limes and mix well.
Finish off with the brown sugar to get that caramelisation and a touch of sweet and sour in the mix. Cook for another five minutes, and when you see the oil popping up as it boils and the sauce is thick, your chicken is ready.
Garnish with some lime quarters and enjoy with ugali or rice.
