Description
A delicious and creamy dish featuring chicken gizzards cooked in coconut milk with fresh vegetables.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Chicken Gizzard (Can be substituted with chicken thighs if gizzards are unavailable.)

- 1 medium Red Bell Pepper (Any sweet bell pepper can be used interchangeably.)
- 1 medium Onion (minced) (Yellow or white onion works best.)
