Recipe - Chicken With Custard Apple Sauce

Stephen Ceideburg
250 ml Custard apple puree
200 ml Plain yogurt
3 tablespoon Caster sugar
Olive oil
8 Pieces chicken
3 lg Onions, cut or sliced up
4 Cloves garlic, chopped
125 ml Strong chicken stock

Mix together 250 mL custard apple puree (from 2 small to medium custard
apples or 1 large one), 200 mL thick plain yoghurt (a lowfat variety is
fine) and 3 tablespoons caster sugar. Set aside.

Heat a little olive oil in a large pan with a lid and brown 8 chicken
pieces.

Meanwhile, slice 3 large onions and chop 4 cloves of garlic finely. Remove
the chicken pieces from the pan and cook the onions and garlic gently until
golden.

Add 125 mL strong chicken stock and stir to deglaze the pan, return the
chicken to the pan, cover and simmer until the chicken is tender and the
juices run clear when the thickest portions are pierced with a skewer
about 45 minutes to an hour.

Remove the chicken pieces to a serving dish. Add the custard apple mixture
to the liquid remaining in the pan, stir well and season to taste. Heat the
sauce but do not let it.boil. Pour over the chicken.
