Provided by Christina

Categories     Entree

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 chicken breasts
2 tbsp cooking fat of choice ((I use coconut oil.))
1/4 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup lime juice
1 1/2 cup canned coconut milk (unsweetened and full fat (should not say lite or low fat))
1 tbsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/8 cup fresh chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Add your cooking fat of choice to a large skillet and heat on medium high heat.
  • Unless your chicken breasts are already fairly thin slice them horizontally. This will give you very thin cutlets so they'll cook faster and more evenly.
  • Add your chicken breasts to the hot pan. Liberally salt and pepper the side facing up. Saute until each side has some browning and chicken is cooked through or mostly cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
  • Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate. Lower heat to medium.
  • Add chicken stock, lime juice, coconut milk (stir it in the can so that you don't have any separation), minced garlic, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper to the skillet. You'll have a bit of coconut milk remaining in your can. Set it aside because we'll drizzle some of that on top after everything is finished. Stir your sauce, scraping up any browned bits remaining in the pan from when you cooked your chicken.
  • Add the chicken breasts back to the skillet with the sauce. Cover. Let simmer on medium to medium low for 5 minutes.
  • Right before serving use a spoon to scrape up some of the remaining coconut milk from the can and drizzle it over your chicken. Sprinkle fresh chopped cilantro. You're done!
  • Serve with vegetables or potatoes to take full advantage of the yummy coconut lime sauce!

Spiced coconut chicken with coriander & lime image

Make this one-pot coconut chicken for an easy and filling midweek meal. If you want to boost the heat, leave the seeds in one of the green chillies

Provided by Diana Henry

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 1h20m

Yield Serves 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tbsp oil
8 skin-on and bone-in chicken thighs
1 large onion , roughly chopped
4 garlic cloves , grated to a purée
3cm piece ginger , peeled and grated
½ tsp turmeric
2 tsp ground cumin
2 green chillies , halved, deseeded and finely chopped
200g butternut squash , peeled, deseeded and cut into slices (prepared weight)
100g cauliflower florets
225g basmati rice
10g bunch coriander , chopped
2 limes , zested and juiced
2 lime leaves
300ml coconut milk
400ml chicken stock

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat the oil in a 30cm shallow casserole dish or high-sided frying pan. Fry the chicken thighs, skin-side down, just to get some colour on them (they will take on a deeper colour in the oven). Transfer them to another dish. Fry the onion in the pan until soft and pale gold. Add the garlic, spices and chillies. Cook for 2 mins more, then stir in the squash, cauliflower, rice, half the coriander, the lime zest, half the lime juice, the lime leaves and some seasoning. Put the chicken back in the pan, this time skin-side up, and season that as well.
  • Heat the coconut milk and the chicken stock together until just below boiling point. Pour this around the chicken and put the pan in the oven, uncovered. Cook for 40 mins, or until the chicken is cooked through and the liquid has been absorbed by the rice. Squeeze over the remaining lime and scatter with the rest of the coriander. You could gently push the coriander into the rice, so it's not all on top. Serve immediately.

STEWED SPICY CHICKEN WITH LEMONGRASS AND LIME



Stewed Spicy Chicken With Lemongrass And Lime image

This wildly flavorful chicken dish is inspired by the bright flavors found in Thai cooking - garlic, galangal (or ginger), chiles, turmeric, cilantro and lemongrass. While its flavor profile is complex, it is blessedly easy to make. Just sauté the savories, herbs and spices and add the chicken to the pan. Allow it to cook, covered, for about 20 to 30 minutes. Remove the lid, let the chicken brown a bit, and that's it. Serve over rice so you don't miss out on a single drop of the exquisite sauce.

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
1/2 cup minced shallot
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced galangal or ginger
1 teaspoon minced hot chili, or crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon ground dried cilantro
1 teaspoon sugar
2 stalks lemongrass
1 3-pound chicken, cut into serving pieces
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon minced lime leaves or zest
2 tablespoons nam pla
1/4 cup minced cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Place the oil in a large, deep skillet and turn the heat to medium. Add the shallot, garlic, ginger and chilies and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender and the mixture pasty. Add the turmeric, cilantro and sugar and cook, stirring, for another minute. Trim the lemongrass stalks of their toughest outer layers, then bruise them with the back of a knife; cut them into sections and add them to the mixture along with 1 cup water.
  • Add the chicken and turn it once or twice in the sauce, then nestle it in the sauce; season with a little salt and pepper. Turn the heat to low and cover the skillet. Cook, turning once or twice, until the chicken is cooked through, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Uncover the skillet and raise the heat to medium-high; turn the chicken skin-side down. Let most (but not all) of the liquid evaporate and brown the chicken just a little on the bottom. Stir in the lime leaves and nam pla; taste and adjust seasoning as necessary, then garnish and serve with white rice.

Chicken in Spicy Coconut Sauce image

Categories     Sauce     Milk/Cream     Chicken     Braise     Spice     Hot Pepper     Shallot     Lemongrass     Gourmet

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 pound chicken drumsticks and thighs
2 teaspoons salt
2 rounded tablespoons tamarind from a pliable block
1/2 cup hot water
1 cup chopped shallots (4 large)
10 (5 1/2-inch) fresh Holland red chiles, sliced crosswise (1 cup), including seeds
1 tablespoon chopped peeled fresh ginger
2 teaspoons chopped peeled turmeric (fresh or thawed frozen) or 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 fresh lemongrass stalks, 1 or 2 outer leaves and all but lower 6 inches discarded
6 cups well-stirred canned unsweetened coconut milk (48 fl oz; not low-fat)
1 (1-inch) piece galangal (fresh or thawed frozen), sliced crosswise
2 teaspoons packed dark palm sugar or dark brown sugar

Steps:

  • Rub chicken with salt and let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
  • While chicken stands, gently mash tamarind with hot water in a bowl using your fingertips until pulp is softened, then force with a rubber spatula through a medium-mesh sieve into a small bowl, discarding solids. Pulse shallots, chiles, ginger, and turmeric with cumin and coriander in a food processor until finely chopped. Lightly smash lemongrass stalks with bottom of a heavy skillet.
  • Stir together coconut milk, tamarind purée, shallot mixture, lemongrass, galangal, and palm sugar in a 6- to 7-quart wide heavy pot. Add chicken and bring to a simmer over moderately high heat, stirring frequently, then reduce heat and gently simmer, partially covered, until very tender, 40 to 45 minutes. Transfer chicken with tongs to a bowl and simmer sauce, uncovered, stirring frequently, until thickened and reduced to about 4 cups, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes, then skim off any fat if desired. Discard lemongrass and season sauce with salt. Add chicken and stir to coat.

Tips:

  • To achieve a crispy chicken coating, ensure the chicken is well-coated in the cornstarch mixture before frying.
  • Use fresh and flavorful ingredients for the coconut-lime sauce to create a vibrant and aromatic dish.
  • Adjust the amount of chili flakes in the sauce according to your desired spice level.
  • Serve the chicken immediately after cooking to maintain its crispiness and enjoy the best flavor.
  • Garnish the dish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges for an extra burst of flavor and visual appeal.

Conclusion:

The coconut milk and lime juice in the sauce lend a unique and refreshing flavor that complements the savory chicken perfectly. This dish is sure to impress your taste buds and is perfect for a quick and flavorful weeknight meal or as an appetizer for a party. Experiment with different chili pepper varieties to create a sauce that suits your spice preferences. Enjoy this delicious and easy-to-make recipe!
