Ingredients
- 8 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 large bananas
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup chili sauce (tomato-based)
- 6 slices bacon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 0.5 cup unsalted roasted peanuts
- 2 cups cooked white rice (optional, for serving)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold all the ingredients.
Step 2
Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and curry powder on both sides.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken thighs on each side for about 2-3 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 4
Peel and slice the bananas into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Lay the banana slices in an even layer on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Step 5
Place the seared chicken thighs on top of the banana slices.
Step 6
In a medium bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and chili sauce until well combined. Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken and bananas in the baking dish.
Step 7
Chop the bacon into small pieces and pan-fry them over medium heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle the crispy bacon over the dish.
Step 8
Add the roasted peanuts by scattering them over the top of the casserole.
Step 9
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165°F or 74°C) and the sauce is bubbling.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve hot with cooked white rice on the side, if desired.
