Every time we go back home, on our first night there, my mom will invite my sister and her family over, and cook bami with pilaf. This is comfort food for me, and I think you will like it too. It pairs great with bami but tastes great with white rice also. It’s quick to make, so it’s the perfect weeknight dish!
Juicy chicken, in a sweet & spicy tomato sauce with a surprise ingredient. This quick-and-easy dish is perfectly served with either bami, or white rice and is sure to please even the pickiest of eaters!

Instructions
- Cut the onion and chicken into medium-sized chunks and place them in two separate bowls.
- Drain the juice from the can of peaches into a measuring cup. I do this by only opening the lid a small amount; enough to drain the liquid, but not so much that pieces of peach can fall out.
- Add approximately as much water to the measuring cup as there is peach juice. I get approximately 175ml (3/4 cup) of juice from a 425g (15oz) can of peaches. If your peaches have less juice, you may need to add more water, to make sure there's enough liquid to cover the chicken.
- Heat the oil in the pan over medium-high heat.
- Cook the onion until they're soft and translucent, approximately [cooked-timer minutes=3]3 minutes[/cooked-timer]
- Once the onion is translucent, add the chicken, and season with salt and pepper. Stir and cook until the outside of the chicken is fully cooked, but the inside doesn't have to be fully cooked. Approximately [cooked-timer minutes=7]7 minutes[/cooked-timer]
- Add the water with peach juice, tomato paste, sambal, and ketjap manis, and stir until fully combined.
- Let simmer for [cooked-timer minutes=30]30 minutes[/cooked-timer]
- Cut the peaches into small pieces (same size as the chicken), and add. Let warm through for approximately [cooked-timer minutes=5]5 minutes[/cooked-timer] before serving.
