How to Make Banana Chicken Stew

1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes, and cook until browned on all sides.
2. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves of garlic, minced, to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), and a pinch of salt and black pepper.
4. Add 4 cups of chicken broth, 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes, undrained, and 2 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced.
5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
6. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped cilantro just before serving.
7. Serve the stew hot over brown rice, garnished with a dollop of plain yogurt or sour cream (optional) and accompanied by a fresh green salad.
