Description
This vibrant combo features a classic Nigerian tomato-based chicken stew served alongside flavorful fried rice—an iconic pairing in Nigerian cuisine, especially at parties and celebrations. The chicken is first seasoned and fried or grilled until golden, then simmered in a thick, spicy tomato-pepper sauce enriched with onions, garlic, thyme, curry, and bay leaves. The stew has a rich, oily consistency thanks to palm or vegetable oil and can be customized in heat level to suit any palate. Meanwhile, the Nigerian fried rice is cooked separately with parboiled rice, mixed vegetables (like carrots, peas, green beans, and sweet corn), and a savory blend of curry powder, thyme, onions, and stock. Proteins such as liver or shrimp are sometimes added, but this version keeps it focused on the chicken. The result is a deeply satisfying meal with contrasts of spicy stew and fragrant rice. Whether served at weddings, birthdays, or Sunday dinners, this pairing represents comfort, celebration, and culinary balance. Each bite offers a taste of Nigeria’s rich food heritage and communal spirit.
