| + | # Chicken Jacob -- Banana Chicken |
| + | |
| + | A Swedish curry dish that features chicken and bananas? |
| + | Yes. |
| + | The history of the dish is a bit of a trip also [Atlas Obscura – Flying Jacob](https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/swedish-chicken-banana-casserole-flying-jacob) |
| + | |
| + | ### Ingredients |
| + | |
| + | - 4 chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces (or rotisserie cooked chicken) |
| + | - 6 ounces bacon, diced (pancetta is a good substitute if available) |
| + | - 1 finely-chopped onion |
| + | - 1 can coconut milk |
| + | - 1 tablespoon curry powder |
| + | - 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce (or a hot and spicy ketchup) |
| + | - 1 chicken stock cube (something salty-- possibly fish sauce) |
| + | - salt and pepper, to taste |
| + | - 2 sliced bananas |
| + | - 1/2 cup chopped dry roasted peanuts |
| + | |
| + | ### Cooking and Preparation |
| + | |
| + | - Cook the chicken together with the bacon and onion until the chicken is no longer translucent and beginning to brown (about 10-12 minutes); drain off any excess fat and add the cream; bring to a boil. |
| + | - Reduce heat to a simmer; add curry powder, chili sauce, stock cube and salt and pepper to taste (careful - the stock cube will add salt, too). Gently stir in the sliced bananas and simmer for 5 minutes. |
| + | - Sprinkle over the peanuts and serve over rice. |
