Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. (2 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

Stir in the brown sugar until fully dissolved and the mixture starts to bubble gently. (2 minutes)

03

Step
3 mins

Season the chicken cubes with salt and pepper. Toss the seasoned chicken with flour, ensuring each piece is lightly coated. (3 minutes)

04

Step
10 mins

Add the floured chicken and sliced bananas to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is almost cooked through and slightly browned. (8-10 minutes)

05

Step
2 mins

Stir in the amaretto and coconut rum, and heat through. Ensure the mixture is simmering gently. (2 minutes)

06

Step
3 mins

Remove the skillet from the heat source. Carefully use a long match or lighter to ignite the sauce. Allow the flames to burn until the alcohol cooks off and the flame naturally extinguishes. (2-3 minutes)

07

Step

Serve immediately and enjoy the symphony of flavors!

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the sauce.
Ensure the bananas are ripe but still firm to prevent them from becoming mushy during cooking.
Be extremely cautious when flambéing. Keep a fire extinguisher nearby and ensure there are no flammable objects in the immediate vicinity.
Serve this dish with a side of coconut rice and steamed green vegetables for a complete and balanced meal.
