Poulet DG

Cameroon · Sub-Saharan Africa

Short description: Poulet DG is a chicken-and-plantain dish with vegetables in a glossy, savory sauce.
Ingredients: Chicken cooked with fried ripe plantains, carrots, green beans, bell pepper, tomato, onion, and garlic.
Cultural note: The name hints at status food, but the appeal is practical: browned chicken, sweet plantains, and colorful vegetables on one generous plate.
Common misconception: It is not simply chicken stew; fried ripe plantains are central to the dish.
