Description

This Green Coconut Chicken Stew is a flavorful and aromatic dish that's perfect for a cozy dinner. I've been making this recipe for years, and it's always a hit! The combination of coconut milk, jalapenos, and fresh herbs creates a unique and delicious flavor profile. The chicken legs become incredibly tender while simmering in the fragrant broth. Serve it with rice or noodles for a complete and satisfying meal. It's especially comforting during the cooler months, and the vibrant green color makes it festive enough for a holiday gathering.
