Ingredients: 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 7 oz each), patted dry; Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper; 2 tablespoons olive oil; 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced into strips; 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced; 3 cloves garlic, minced; 1 can (14 oz) diced tomato (fire-roasted if possible); 1 can (14 oz) full-fat unsweetened coconut milk; 2 teaspoons dendê oil (Brazilian palm oil) or smoked paprika; 0.5 teaspoon ground coriander; 1 bay leaf; 1 can (14 oz) hearts of palm (palmito), drained and halved lengthwise; 8 oz fresh okra, trimmed and halved lengthwise; 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped; 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped; 1 lime, cut into wedges

Pan-seared chicken breast topped with a velvety moqueca-inspired sauce of coconut milk, tomato, bell pepper, and dendê oil (with a touch of paprika if dendê is unavailable), served with tender hearts of palm and charred okra for textural contrast. It tastes like coastal Brazil.
