GREEN CURRY CHICKEN



Green Curry Chicken image

This came from a can of coconut milk I made no changes. It's quick and easy, we eat it weekly and it is so wonderful. If you like curry you will absolutely love this. If you have never tried curry this is a perfect recipe to put you in the "curry lovers club". Just try it- I promise you won't regret it. ***I did not want to change the original recipe, but wanted to note that I actually use 2-3 tbls. of curry, we like it with a lot of heat. Please....adjust the curry to your personal taste*** Also, I find the Mae Ploy brand that can only be found in an asian market is wonderful every time. I have tried curry bought in the grocery store and it is NEVER very good...the Mae Ploy is always potent and fresh tasting and I keep a big tub in my fridge for months and it stays good.

GREEN COCONUT CHICKEN

While there is a nice dose of red curry powder in the braise, it's certainly not the dominant flavor. For something that might seem exotic and boldly-spiced, this a surprisingly mellow dish.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 20

Provided by Jet Tila

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 cups (1.4 liters) full-fat coconut milk, with 4 tablespoons of the cream separated out
2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
4 to 6 tablespoons (60 to 90 grams) green curry paste
1 (700 grams) sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1-inch (2 1/2-centimeter) dice
1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup (20 grams) roughly chopped, whole with stems, Thai sweet basil
8 magrut lime leaves, sliced very thin
1 1/2 pounds (700 grams) chicken thighs, patted dry and sliced into bite-size pieces
2 teaspoons fish sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon tamarind paste
1 red bell pepper, middle part sliced, top and bottom diced for garnish
Cooked jasmine rice, for serving

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, heat 4 tablespoons of the thick coconut cream on high for about 1 minute, then add the oil. When the cream starts to sizzle, stir the curry paste into the cream like building a roux. Stir-fry the paste for about 1 minute, until the paste starts to thicken, dry out and become fragrant. If the curry starts to sputter, add a small amount of coconut milk and/or oil to keep the paste moving. Cook the paste until it has the consistency of peanut butter.
  • Stir the sweet potato cubes, onion, basil, half of the lime leaves and remaining coconut milk into the curry paste. Increase the heat to high until you reach a full rolling boil, then reduce to a simmer. Let the curry simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Also check that the curry is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.
  • Add the chicken. Let this simmer for 5 to 7 more minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Stir in the fish sauce, sugar and tamarind. Add the bell pepper strips and turn off the heat. Serve hot over cooked rice. Garnish with the Thai basil, remaining lime leaves and diced bell pepper.

CHICKEN CURRY WITH SWEET POTATOES AND COCONUT MILK



Chicken Curry With Sweet Potatoes and Coconut Milk image

I used to think the only reason to buy a whole chicken was to actually cook it whole. Why buy one for a recipe calling for parts when the supermarket will cut up the bird for you? Then one day my mother set me straight. It's one thing to buy a package of thighs or drumsticks when you need a specific part, but you might as well cut up your own bird if you need a variety. You can use your cut-up chicken to make this ginger-and-lime-scented curry with coconut milk, sweet potatoes and chiles. Or substitute your favorite part, be it wings or legs or bone-in breasts. The bright, spicy and gently sweet flavors work well with any pieces of fowl in the pot. When the chicken in this recipe is nearly done braising, you can fry up the liver, then coat it in some of the luscious sauce. If your mother is anything like mine, she'd be proud.

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 (3 1/2 pound) whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, more as needed
Black pepper, as needed
2 tablespoons peanut, safflower or vegetable oil
1/4 cup finely chopped scallion
1 1/2 inches fresh ginger, peeled and grated (1 1/2 tablespoons)
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 to 2 jalapeno or Serrano chiles, to taste, seeded and finely chopped
2 tablespoons red curry paste
1 (15 1/2-ounce) can coconut milk
2 medium sweet potatoes (1 pound), peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
3/4 cup coconut flakes
1 tablespoon black or brown mustard seeds
Fresh cilantro leaves
Lime wedges

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add oil. Brown chicken pieces, in batches if necessary, until golden all over, 6 to 8 minutes per batch. Transfer chicken to a plate.
  • Stir scallion, ginger, garlic and chiles into pot and reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring, until soft, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in curry paste and cook 1 minute. Stir in coconut milk and sweet potatoes. Arrange chicken pieces on top of potatoes, placing breast meat on top. Pour in enough water to come halfway up the sides of chicken. Bring to a boil. Cover pot and transfer to oven. Bake until chicken is cooked through, about 40 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large dry skillet over medium heat, toast coconut flakes until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Add mustard seeds and toast until they begin to pop, 1 minute more. Transfer to a bowl and season with a pinch of salt.
  • Transfer chicken and sweet potatoes to a platter. Return Dutch oven to the stove and simmer over medium-high heat until cooking liquid has thickened to a saucelike consistency, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour over chicken and potatoes. Sprinkle with the coconut and mustard seed mixture and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh coconut milk, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, and other ingredients will give your green curry chicken with yam the best flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the spiciness: Green curry can be made as mild or as spicy as you like. If you like your curry mild, use fewer green chilies. If you like it spicy, use more.
  • Cook the chicken and yam properly: The chicken should be cooked through but not overcooked. The yam should be tender but not mushy.
  • Don't overcook the curry: Green curry should be cooked until the vegetables are tender and the sauce has thickened, but it should not be overcooked. Overcooked curry will lose its flavor.
  • Serve with rice: Green curry chicken with yam is traditionally served with rice. Jasmine rice or sticky rice are both good choices.

Conclusion:

Green curry chicken with yam is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken and yam. The combination of the spicy green curry sauce, the tender chicken, and the sweet yam is simply irresistible. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give green curry chicken with yam a try. You won't be disappointed.
