Poulet Moambé

Poulet moambé combines chicken pieces with a palm-fruit sauce. RTBF’s Un Gars, Un Chef! preparation uses canned moambé sauce, chicken stock, onion, garlic, thyme, bay leaves and pili-pili. The chicken is browned before the stock, sauce and aromatics are added.[1]

The mixture simmers until the sauce thickens. In this version, some sauce is used to heat a separate serving of saka-saka, while another portion is mixed with extra pili-pili as a hotter condiment. The recipe presents the preparations in separate dishes with sliced banana.[1]
