Coconut-Braised Chicken
Chicken thighs are slow-braised in creamy coconut milk, tomato, and Chef Vanessa's housemade Haitian epis—a vibrant blend of herbs, garlic, and spices. Chef pairs it with maïe moulen, a comforting cornmeal dish similar to polenta, enriched with coconut milk and a touch of epis for depth. Garlicky sautéed greens bring balance to every bite, for a meal that’s soulful, nourishing, and uniquely Haitian.
