Recipe View 10 mins Once the flames have died down, add the sliced mushrooms (with their butter sauce), chicken bouillon granules, garlic powder, ground black pepper, and coconut milk to the skillet. Stir to combine all ingredients well. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and the flavors to meld together beautifully.

Recipe View To serve, spoon the cooked rice onto plates. Top with the rum-infused chicken and mushroom mixture. Garnish with slices of fresh banana for a touch of sweetness and visual appeal. Enjoy immediately!

For an extra layer of flavor, consider marinating the chicken in a mixture of rum, ginger, and allspice for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
If you're hesitant to flambé, you can skip the rum-lighting step. Simply add the rum to the skillet and allow it to simmer with the other ingredients.
Serve with a side of steamed greens or a fresh salad to balance the richness of the dish.
