Blazers center Ruben Boumtje Boumtje recently invited the Oregonian's Amy Martinez Starke to his home where he made her his favorite dish -- Boom Boom's Chicken.
List of Ingredients
Makes 4 servings
1/2 cup vegetable oil (divided)
3 large tomatoes, cut up into 8 to 10 pieces
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper, cut into pieces
1/3 cup chopped green onion
1/4 cup chopped celery
Dash dried thyme
Dash ground nutmeg
Dash garlic powder
Dash Italian Seasoning
Dash dried rosemary
Salt and black pepper to taste
About 1-1/2 pounds boneless chicken breasts, halved
All-purpose flour to coat chicken
2 plaintains, peeled, sliced lengthwise and cut into halves
Cooked basmati rice
Recipe
Add 2 tablespoons of the oil to a large skillet. Over medium heat, cook the tomatoes, onion, green pepper, green onion, celery, herbs and spices, and salt and pepper until the vegetables are soft and reduced into a sauce, about half an hour.
Meanwhile, in large bowl, coat the chicken in flour. In a separate skillet, heat the remaining 6 tablespoons of the vegetable oil over medium heat, and fry the chicken pieces until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the oil, reserving the oil. Drain chicken on paper towels and add chicken to the tomato-vegetable sauce and simmer 15 minutes.
In the reserved oil, fry the plantains until golden brown; drain on paper towels.
On a serving plate, arrange cooked rice, plantains and chicken. Pour sauce over the chicken and serve.
