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.

CURRY COCONUT CHICKEN BREASTS



Curry Coconut Chicken Breasts image

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced in half horizontally and pounded thin
1 generous tablespoon curry powder
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil, for frying
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 eggs
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut flakes
1 cup panko breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with a pinch of curry powder, a pinch of salt and a grind of pepper. Allow to rest on the counter at room temperature for about an hour.
  • In a large pan with straight sides, add enough oil to fill 2 inches deep. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F.
  • Meanwhile, dredge the chicken. On 1 plate, combine the flour and a pinch of salt. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cayenne and a pinch of salt. On another plate, add the coconut, the remaining curry powder, breadcrumbs and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine, turning the coconut yellow. To dredge, first place the chicken breasts in the flour and coat on all sides. Shake off any excess flour and dunk in the egg mixture. Remove and press all sides into the coconut mixture.
  • Fry the chicken in batches to keep the oil temperature around 330 to 350 degrees F. Cook until deep golden brown on 1 side, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook about 4 more minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt. Serve warm.

Categories     BBQ & Grilled Chicken Breasts

Time 2h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
2 tablespoons curry powder
1 medium lime, zested and juiced
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
½ teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon white pepper
3 medium scallions, sliced, white and green parts divided

fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine coconut milk, curry powder, lime juice and zest, honey, garlic, salt, coriander, white pepper, and white parts of scallions in a bowl. Stir briskly until well combined and pout into a 1-gallon resealable plastic bag. Add chicken cutlets, squeeze out most of the air, and seal. Gently move chicken cutlets inside the bag so they are fully coated with marinade. Refrigerate at least 2 hours, or up to 4 hours.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Remove cutlets from the marinade, shaking off the excess. Discard marinade.
  • When the grill is ready, place cutlets on the grill and grill until lightly browned and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • To serve, place cutlets on a serving platter and sprinkle with reserved chopped scallion greens and chopped cilantro or parsley, if desired.

BAKED COCONUT CURRY CHICKEN



Baked Coconut Curry Chicken image

This is a great fall/winter recipe. I don't use my oven in the summer for obvious reasons. Letting boneless chicken marinate in either sour cream or plain yogurt makes it really tender and almost fluffy. You can really customize this recipe to your liking--it's more of a method than a recipe.

MARINATED CHICKEN BREAST WITH COCONUT CURRY SAUCE



Marinated Chicken Breast With Coconut Curry Sauce image

This is different from any other curry I've made in that the chicken is first marinated, and not cooked in the curry sauce itself. The contrasting yet complementary flavors of the marinade and sauce make for an unusual and attractive dish. This pairs especially well with the "Cardamon and Fennel Flavored Rice" recipe which I've posted as well. Preparation time includes 2 hour marinating time. Do not marinate this overnight as the lemon juice will break the fibers of the chicken down too much.

Tips:

  • To achieve a crispy and flavorful crust on your chicken breasts, pat them dry before searing. This will help the skin brown evenly and prevent it from steaming.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven to sear the chicken breasts. This will help to evenly distribute heat and prevent the chicken from sticking.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet when searing the chicken breasts. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the chicken breasts over medium heat until they are golden brown on both sides. This will help to create a flavorful crust and prevent the chicken from drying out.
  • Once the chicken breasts are seared, reduce the heat to low and add the curry paste, coconut milk, and other ingredients. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Serve the curry coconut chicken breasts with rice, vegetables, or your favorite sides.
