Thai-Inspired Coconut Chicken With Spinach and Mushrooms image

I love the coconut chicken soup I get at a local Thai restaurant and wanted to try to get something similar at home. Lemongrass is hard to find here, so I played around a bit and I'm pretty proud of how it came out. Quick, easy and tasty! Serve over rice.

THAI-STYLE CHICKEN IN COCONUT SAUCE



Thai-Style Chicken in Coconut Sauce image

Categories     Chicken     Poultry     Coconut     Curry     Gourmet

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 whole chicken legs (about 3 pounds), cut into drumstick and thigh sections
2 teaspoons minced peeled fresh gingerroot
2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
2 tablespoons dry Sherry
an 8 1/2-ounce can cream of coconut
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh coriander plus, if desired, coriander sprigs for garnish
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 1/2 teaspoons minced seeded fresh jalapeño pepper, or to taste (wear rubber gloves)
2 red bell peppers, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, or to taste
cooked rice as an accompaniment

Steps:

  • In a large kettle heat the oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it brown the chicken, patted dry, in batches, transferring it as it is browned to a plate. To the kettle add the gingerroot and the garlic and cook the mixture for 1 minute. Add the flour and the curry powder and cook the mixture, stirring, for 1 minute. Whisk in the Sherry, the coconut cream, and the broth and bring the mixture to a boil, whisking. Add the black pepper, the chopped coriander, the soy sauce, the jalapeño, the chicken, and any juices that have accumulated on the plate and simmer the mixture, covered, for 10 minutes. Add the bell peppers and simmer the mixture, covered, for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooled through. Transfer the chicken with a slotted spoon to a serving dish and keep it warm. Boil the liquid until it is thickened and reduced to about 2 cups, skim off the fat, and season the sauce with salt and pepper and the lime juice. Nap the chicken with some of the sauce, garnish it with the coriander sprigs, and serve it with the rice.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your dish the best flavor. If possible, use organic fruits and vegetables whenever possible.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken is a delicate meat, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook it until it is just cooked through, or it will become dry and tough.
  • Use a Good Quality Coconut Milk: The coconut milk is the base of the sauce, so it's important to use a good quality brand. Look for a brand that is unsweetened and has a high fat content.
  • Add Vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables to the dish, such as bell peppers, carrots, or broccoli.

Conclusion:

This Thai-inspired coconut chicken with spinach and mushrooms is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner recipe, give this one a try!
