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.

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.

SWEET AND SPICY LIME CHICKEN



Sweet and Spicy Lime Chicken image

This was an 'on-the-fly' recipe I came up with while trying to avoid the same-old chicken dinner. If you prefer more heat, leave the seeds and ribs of the jalapeno in before pureeing.

Provided by Samantha Jones

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Thigh Recipes

Time 1h50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 jalapeno pepper
4 cloves garlic
1 shallot
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ teaspoon dried parsley
½ teaspoon dried thyme
6 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
½ cup white wine
1 lime, juiced
1 tablespoon honey, or more to taste
½ cup chicken broth

Steps:

  • Puree jalapeno pepper, garlic, shallot, and 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a food processor. Add parsley and thyme; process again to integrate.
  • Rub the jalapeno pepper mixture evenly onto the chicken thighs, place onto a platter and cover with plastic wrap; marinate in refrigerator at least 1 hour, up to 24 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-low heat. Cook chicken thighs in hot oil until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a platter, retaining drippings in the skillet.
  • Reduce heat under the skillet to low. Pour wine into the pan; bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food from the bottom of the pan with a flat-edged wooden spoon. Stir lime juice and honey into the wine; bring to a simmer and cook until the volume of the liquid reduces slightly, about 5 minutes. Return chicken to the skillet. Pour broth over the chicken.
  • Transfer skillet to preheated oven and bake until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

BILL GRANGER'S LEMONGRASS AND LIME CHICKEN BURGERS W/ SPICY SLAW



Bill Granger's Lemongrass and Lime Chicken Burgers W/ Spicy Slaw image

I really enjoy the recipes of Australian chef Bill Granger. He always comes up with dishes that somehow sound indulgent and healthy at the same time. This sounds like the kind of fusion food I have always thought I would experience if I ever got to go to Sydney. Cooking time includes chilling time for the burgers.

LEMONGRASS-STEAMED CHICKEN



Lemongrass-Steamed Chicken image

The simplest and easiest way to infuse the flavor of lemongrass into chicken. A southeast Asian recipe from Mark Bittman.

Provided by susie cooks

Categories     Poultry

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 chicken thighs, trimmed of excess fat
salt and pepper
3 tablespoons grapeseed oil or 3 tablespoons other neutral oil
6 stalks lemongrass, trimmed, halved lengthwise, and smashed
3 tablespoons soy sauce
lime wedge
chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Put oil in a deep skillet over medium high heat.
  • Spread the lemongrass in the skillet.
  • Cover.
  • When lemongrass begins to fry and is fragrant, place the chicken, skin side down over the lemongrass.
  • Turn the heat to medium, cover.
  • Cook, turning and basting with the soy sauce every 10 minutes or so until the chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes.
  • Discard the lemongrass and serve the chicken with lime wedges and cilantro.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh lemongrass and lime leaves. If you don't have fresh lemongrass, you can substitute dried lemongrass, but it will not be as flavorful.
  • If you don't have fresh lime leaves, you can substitute kaffir lime leaves. Kaffir lime leaves have a more intense flavor than regular lime leaves, so use them sparingly.
  • To make the chicken more tender, marinate it in the lemongrass and lime juice mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can use a large pot or saucepan. Just make sure that it has a lid.
  • Serve the chicken with rice or noodles and a side of vegetables.

Conclusion:

This stewed spicy chicken with lemongrass and lime is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the lemongrass and lime give it a bright and refreshing taste. Serve it with rice or noodles and a side of vegetables for a complete meal.
