Time 55m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 green onions, chopped
1 tablespoon curry paste, or more to taste
⅓ cup chicken broth
½ cup coconut milk
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound the chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of about 1/2 inch. Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over high heat, and pan-fry the chicken breasts until the meat is no longer pink, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken breasts to a plate.
  • Reduce the heat to medium; stir the green onions and curry paste into the skillet, and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently. Pour the broth into the skillet, and scrape up and dissolve any brown flavor bits in the skillet with a spoon. Bring the mixture to a full boil, and cook until the mixture has thickened into a glaze, about 10 minutes; pour in the coconut milk, bring back to a boil, and cook until thickened, about 10 more minutes. Mix the lime juice into the sauce, and stir in any juices that have collected from the chicken. Return the chicken breasts to the pan, spoon sauce over the chicken, and simmer until heated through, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro to serve.

COCONUT-LIME CURRIED CHICKEN



Coconut-Lime Curried Chicken image

As an up-and-coming chef, I did several stints cooking on cruise ships in the Caribbean. I loved getting out at each port and tasting the local food. That's when I discovered Trinidadian curry, which I've re-created here, adding touches of Asia with the ginger and lime. You can serve it with noodles, couscous, quinoa, rice -- whatever you've got on hand that is quick and delicious -- but my choice would be roti (Indian flatbread).

Provided by Marcus Samuelsson

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons canola oil, plus more as needed
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons red curry paste (see Cook's Note)
4 tablespoons cilantro leaves and tender stems, roughly chopped
1 medium yellow onion, sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
One 1-inch piece ginger, peeled and minced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 limes halved lengthwise, plus grated zest and juice of 1 lime
2 sprigs thyme, leaves stripped
One 15-ounce can coconut milk
1/4 cup water
2 cups cooked rice (optional)
4 fresh mint leaves, chopped
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon raisins
2 tablespoons toasted unsweetened coconut flakes

Steps:

  • Put the 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet and turn the heat to medium.
  • Meanwhile, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on each side. Add 2 tablespoons of the curry paste and half of the cilantro. Massage the chicken, rubbing in the curry paste and cilantro.
  • When the oil is shimmering, add the chicken in one layer and cook until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate. The chicken will not be cooked through at this point.
  • Add the onion, garlic, ginger and 1 tablespoon of the butter. Season with salt and pepper. Add a drizzle of oil if the skillet looks dry and stir together. Clear some space in the skillet and add 2 of the lime halves cut-side down. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons curry paste and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent and the garlic is slightly golden, about 5 minutes. During this time, leave the limes cut side down. Return the chicken to the skillet. Sprinkle with most of the lime zest and reserve the rest for garnish. Add the thyme leaves and bring to a simmer. Remove the lime halves.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the coconut milk, water and half of the lime juice. Bring to a simmer. Add the rice, if using, and stir together. Add half of the remaining chopped herbs and all of the remaining lime juice. Flip the chicken to coat, add the raisins and continue to simmer until the sauce is slightly thickened and the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and the chopped herbs and squeeze in more lime juice, as desired.
  • Garnish with the coconut and reserved lime zest and serve.
