Ingredients: 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 200g each); sea salt and black pepper; 1 tbsp olive oil; 1 medium onion, thinly sliced; 3 garlic cloves, minced; 1 can (400ml) diced tomatoes (or 1 cup fresh tomatoes, chopped); ½ cup full-fat coconut milk; ¼ cup chicken broth; 1 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (plus more for garnish); 1 lime, juiced; 1 bay leaf; ¼ tsp red pepper flakes; 200g fresh okra (or about 12 pods), halved lengthwise; 1 can (400g) hearts of palm, drained and cut into 2-inch pieces

A pared-down take on moqueca, Brazil's beloved seafood stew: chicken breast receives a silky coconut-tomato sauce spiked with garlic, cilantro, and a whisper of lime, served with tender heart of palm and charred okra. It's warm, aromatic, and unmistakably Brazilian but refined enough for a Saturday dinner.
