Ginataang Manok with Sitaw at Kalabasa

I have been cooking spicy ginataan dishes lately, so I decided to prepare a mild tasting ginataan dish that is simple yet delicious. I call it Ginataang Manok with Sitaw at Kalabasa.

This recipe is inspired by my ginataang kalabasa recipe. I added chicken for protein, and this do not require any form of spice. It can be enjoyed by everyone particularly those who have low tolerance to spicy food.

This dish has more than one variation. For example, I can also use pork or shrimp instead of chicken. Use either snake beans or long green beans depending on your preference and availability. As for the squash, Calabaza squash or butternut squash are both ideal. I used a special type of coconut milk for this recipe. It is in powder form and it already contained spices and seasonings that helped make this dish tasty and even more delicious.

On another note, have you tried prepping your meals at least a few days before to save more time? I asked this question because this recipe is an example of those dishes that I prepare beforehand if I knew that my week would be busy. The prepping that I do mostly involves the meat only. I make sure that the meat is already pre-cooked and tender. This will require me to perform the first half of the recipe, which means sautéing the meat in garlic, onion, and what have you. The next step is to simmer the meat in water or broth (depending on what the recipe is asking for) until tender. The meat is then stored in a covered container and placed inside the refrigerator or freezer. I usually do this over the weekend, when I have extra time.

On a busy day, I first thaw the frozen chicken in the morning, and it will be ready when I get back after work. I also prepare the other ingredients and refrigerate it. This trick saves me a lot of time.
