To make Chicken Cheese Sweet Plantain Canoes, you will need the following ingredients:
- 2 ripe plantains
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking oil for frying
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to make Chicken Cheese Sweet Plantain Canoes:
1. Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Peel the plantains and cut them in half lengthwise. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. Bake the plantains for about 15-20 minutes or until they become soft and slightly golden.
4. While the plantains are baking, heat a little oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, red and green bell peppers, and sauté until they become tender.
5. Add the cooked chicken to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine. Remove from heat.
6. Once the plantains are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
7. Carefully scoop out a small portion from the center of each plantain half, creating a hollow canoe-like shape. Leave enough plantain flesh on the sides and bottom to create a sturdy base.
8. Stuff each plantain canoe with the chicken and vegetable mixture until they are filled. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
9. Place the filled plantains back on the baking sheet and return them to the oven. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and turned golden.
10. Once cooked, remove the plantains from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
