Galinha à Portuguesa, or Portuguese-style chicken, is a dish of chicken thighs in a mild curry sauce with Chinese influences. Despite the name, it actually hails from Macao.
For the marinade, combine the chicken with the marinade ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Let it marinate for an hour in the fridge.
After an hour, drain the chicken and reserve the marinade.
For the galinha à Portuguesa, heat a wok or a large frying pan over high heat then add the olive oil. When the oil is hot and slightly smoking, add the ginger and garlic and stir-fry for 20 seconds. Add the chicken, and stir-fry for 3 minutes, or until the chicken is lightly browned.
Transfer the contents of the wok to a large saucepan, then add the rest of the galinha à Portuguesa ingredients, including the reserved marinade, and bring to the boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
Garnish with the coconut and olives and serve immediately.
