COCONUT MILK-SIMMERED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH VEGETABLES
This fast but fabulous chicken dish pairs Thai-inspired flavors with French technique. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts have weeknight appeal, largely because they cook so quickly, but that also means they can dry out and become tough if you're not careful. Here, the chicken is gently cooked for about 10 minutes, then simmered in a ginger-scented coconut sauce studded with green beans and corn, resulting in tender and juicy chicken. Slicing the breasts before serving allows the sauce to coat each piece, adding more moisture and flavor. If you want more heat, sprinkle thinly sliced serrano chile over the top before serving. The best part is the entire meal comes together in about a half-hour: If you're quick, you can get all the vegetable prep done while the chicken cooks.

Steps:
- Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt. In a large (12-inch) lidded skillet, heat the oil over medium-low. Add the chicken, turn to coat with the oil, cover and cook until the thickest part feels springy to the touch, 4 to 5 minutes per side. (For best results, try not to let the chicken brown, and do not overcook; you'll be cooking it more later.) Set the chicken aside on a warm plate, leaving any liquid in the skillet, and cover the chicken with foil.
- Heat the skillet over medium. Add shallot and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic, ginger and chile, and cook for 1 minute. Add stock, raise heat to high and cook, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon, until thick and syrupy, about 1 minute.
- Add the coconut milk and 1/2 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil. Stir in green beans and corn, and lower heat to medium-high for a steady simmer. Cover and cook until beans are crisp-tender but still bright, and coconut milk is slightly reduced, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add chopped cilantro and grated zest of the lime (saving a bit for the top), then season to taste with fish sauce, if using, and salt. Return chicken to the sauce, turning to coat, cover and cook until warmed and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of the lime juice.
- Slice each chicken breast. Serve over jasmine rice, then spoon the vegetables and sauce on top. Sprinkle with remaining lime zest, and garnish with tomatoes and cilantro leaves. Serve with lime wedges.
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken breasts: For best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are of uniform size and thickness. This will help them cook evenly.
- Make sure the chicken is fully thawed before cooking: This will help it cook evenly and prevent the center from being undercooked.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken, make sure there is enough space between the pieces so that they can cook evenly. If the pan is too crowded, the chicken will steam instead of browning.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through: The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit before you remove it from the pan.
- Let the chicken rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
These chicken breasts with Thai flavors are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful mixture of coconut milk, curry paste, and spices, then grilled or pan-fried until cooked through. Serve the chicken with rice or noodles and your favorite vegetables for a complete meal.
