Directions
- 1
Melt the margarine in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion and bacon until lightly golden, about 3–4 minutes.
- 2
Add the chicken cubes and seasoning blend. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through, about 8–10 minutes.
- 3
Pour in the tomato sauce and simmer for 2 minutes. Stir in the coconut milk and continue simmering for another 2 minutes.

Sprinkle with fresh parsley, cook for 1 more minute, then taste and adjust salt before serving hot.
💡 Chef's Tip
Serve over white rice or egg noodles to soak up the sauce. For extra richness, use full-fat coconut milk and swap margarine for butter.
