Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Main Course

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (or thighs, or a mix!)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
1 leek (thinly sliced)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
2 tablespoons red curry paste
1 can full-fat coconut milk ((14 ounces) (do not use light, or the sauce won't thicken properly))
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro (torn)
Prepared brown rice or sourdough for serving

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Season the chicken with salt and black pepper.
  • Melt the coconut oil over medium-high heat in a large, ovenproof skillet. Add the chicken and sear on both sides until deeply golden brown. Transfer to a plate.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the bell pepper, leek, garlic, and ginger, and stir to combine. Cook for 2 minutes, until slightly softened.
  • Stir in the curry paste. Cook for 5 additional minutes, stirring often. Slowly pour in the coconut milk while stirring to combine. Return the reserved chicken to the skillet.
  • Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 25 minutes. The chicken will be fully cooked when a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the chicken registers 165 degrees F, and the juices run clear. (Note: Smaller chicken breasts may be done closer to the 15-minute mark.)
  • Top with cilantro. Serve with rice and fresh sourdough bread for mopping up the sauce if desired.

1/3 cup chopped onion (purple or white)
1 thumb-sized piece fresh galangal or ginger , grated or finely chopped

If not flavorful or salty enough, add more fish sauce, 1 teaspoon at a time, until the desired flavor is reached. If too spicy or salty, add more coconut milk.
  • Serve with the fresh coriander sprinkled over and Thai jasmine-scented rice on the side.

THAI CHICKEN CURRY



Thai chicken curry image

Learn how to make an authentic-tasting Thai chicken curry with this easy step-by-step recipe

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 shallots, or 1 small onion
1 stalk lemongrass
1 tbsp vegetable oil
3-4 tsp red Thai curry paste
4 boneless and skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
1 tbsp fish sauce
1 tsp sugar, brown is best
4 lime leaves
400ml can coconut milk
20g pack fresh coriander

Steps:

  • Peel shallots or onion and cut in half from top to root. Lay the cut sides flat on a board and thinly slice. Very finely slice the lemongrass, starting at the thinner end, stopping towards the base when it gets tough (often described as 'woody' and white in the centre).
  • Heat the oil in a wok or large saucepan for a couple of minutes until the oil separates (it looks more liquid at this point). Add the shallots or onion. Fry for 3-5 mins, until soft and translucent. Stir in the curry paste and cook for 1 min, stirring all the time.
  • Add chicken pieces and stir until they are coated. Add the lemongrass, fish sauce, sugar, lime leaves and coconut milk. Bring slowly to the boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 15 mins until the chicken is cooked. Stir the curry a few times while it cooks, to stop it sticking and to keep the chicken submerged.
  • While the chicken is cooking, strip the leaves from the coriander stalks, gather into a pile and chop very roughly. Taste the curry and add a little more curry paste and salt if you think it needs it. Stir half the coriander into the curry and sprinkle the rest over the top. Serve with Thai jasmine or basmati rice.

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tablespoons coconut oil, separated
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into thin slices
2 thai green chilis, sliced lengthwise
1 ½ tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 shallot, small, sliced thinly
1 ½ cups red bell pepper, sliced thinly
5 broccolini stalks, split lengthwise if large so they are relatively the same size
10 sugar snap peas, split open
1 large carrot, sliced in thin rounds
1 green onion, sliced on a bias (keep green ends for garnish)
3 tablespoons thai green curry paste, (found in the International aisle at the grocery store)
1 can coconut milk, full fat
fresh basil, thai, if you can find it
lime, to taste, fresh squeezed
salt, to taste
freshly ground pepper, to taste
cucumber, thinly sliced (optional garnish)
red thai pepper, thinly sliced (optional garnish)

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tbsp of coconut oil in a wok or deep skillet. Add chicken thighs to the pan and cook for a few minutes until almost cooked all the way. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • In the same pan, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil and add the green chilies, shallot, bell peppers, carrots, green onions. Cook for about 30 seconds, then add the ginger and garlic. Cook for another minute until everything gets fragrant. Vegetables should still be crunchy.
  • Add the Thai Green Curry paste and cook for a minute until everything comes together.
  • Add the coconut milk to the pan and mix thoroughly. Let the curry cook for a few minutes until bubbling hot. Squeeze in some fresh lime.
  • Add in the broccolini and the snap peas along with the chicken that you par cooked earlier. Let everything poach in the hot curry until the chicken is finished cooking fully - approximately another 3 to 4 minutes. Take care not to overcook the vegetables. Stir in the basil leaves a few seconds before serving.
  • Serve hot over jasmine rice. Top with all the garnishes - red Thai peppers, green onions, cucumbers, more basil and a squeeze of lime.
