Cooking Tips

  • For an additional layer of flavour, consider grilling the banana leaf-wrapped chicken on a barbecue for a few minutes on each side before transferring to the oven.
  • Ensure the leaves are large enough to fully encase each chicken breast, creating a natural steam pocket during baking.

Serving Tips

  • For an eye-catching presentation, serve the chicken directly in the banana leaves.
  • Serve the chicken with sides like rice, plantains, or a tropical fruit salsa to complement the flavours.
