Moa Fa'Asaina (Samoan Stew) with Organic Chicken plus Toasted Coconut Rice

This hearty stew is inspired by moa fa’asaina, a traditional Samoan braised chicken dish. In this version, bite-size pieces of chicken breast are sautéed with bell pepper and onion, then simmered in a rich, savory sauce flavored with soy, vinegar, and garlic-ginger scallion paste. The stew is spooned over toasted coconut rice to soak up every bit of the flavorful sauce, and topped with sliced scallions for a perfect finishing touch.
