Recipe Keshi Yena

Chicken Filling:

Limey Spa Day for Your Chicken:

• Give 200g of chicken breasts and 200g of chicken thighs a luxurious rubdown with the juice of several limes.
• Season those pampered poultry pieces with salt, pepper, poultry seasoning, and minced onion. Let them chill out for several hours.

Get Sizzlin’:

• Brown the chicken in 3 tablespoons of butter until it's looking golden and fabulous.
• Toss it into a kettle with: 1 quart of water, 1 teaspoon of salt, 6 peppercorns, 1 medium onion, 1 celery stalk (with leaves), 1 bay leaf (bruised for good luck)

Simmer Down Now:

• Bring the whole shebang to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and ready for its close-up.
• Strain and reserve the broth—veggies, your job here is done.
• Debone the chicken and set it aside for its big debut.

 Vegetable Mixture:
Veggie Party Time:

•  In 2 tablespoons of butter, sauté:
• 2 tomatoes (peeled and chopped, like they’re heading to a tomato prom)
• 1 onion (sliced)
• 1 green pepper (sliced)
• 1 tablespoon minced parsley (or a splash of Tabasco if you’re feeling spicy)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Mix and Mingle:

Stir in:

• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• ¼ cup pimento olives (sliced, because pimentos like to party)
• ½ tablespoon capers
• ¼ tablespoon piccalilli
• The deboned chicken (making its triumphant return)

Simmer ‘Til It Sizzles:

• Let everything mingle and reduce until the tomatoes are like, "We're done." (About 20 minutes.) Then, remove from heat and let it cool off.

Assembling Keshi Yena:
Say Cheese!

• Generously butter 4 soup cups like you’re on a buttering mission.
•  Line the sides and bottom of each cup with slices of Dutch Edam or Gouda cheese, because more cheese = more happiness.

Fill ‘Er Up:

• Stuff those cups with the cooled chicken and veggie mixture. Go on, don’t be shy.
• Cap it off with another slice of cheese. Yes, more cheese.

Steam Dream:

• Place the soup cups in a pot with enough water to cover the bottom.
• Steam for about 15 minutes. It’s a steamy cheese affair.

Serve It Up:

• Dish out your Keshi Yena with rice, a few slices of plantain, and steamed veggies of your choice. Ta-da!

Serve up this Caribbean delight with a grin, because you just nailed it!
