Visayan Chicken Curry

My hubby is a Visayan (Cebuano) that is why he chose the cyber name Pastilan to represent him. "Pastilan" is a Cebuano expression that could mean anything from exasperation, to endearment, to empathy. I am not a visayan so I cannot really explain completely the deeper meaning of the term. Anyway, it is not the reason why I have this post. I want ot show you some Visayan recipe. This is the Visayan version of chicken curry. Here's how to do it :
