CHICKEN IN LEMONGRASS COCONUT BROTH



Chicken in Lemongrass Coconut Broth image

I made this soup after trying it at a Thai noodle house in my area. I just kept playing around with ingredients until I got something similar. I have the seasonings adjusted to my liking, however there is an adjustment guide in the footnotes if you would like a slightly different flavor. This soup is also good with rice or pasta, but ramen seems to be the favorite. You can use any flavor of ramen noodles.

ONE-POT BRAISED CHICKEN WITH COCONUT MILK, TOMATO AND GINGER



One-Pot Braised Chicken With Coconut Milk, Tomato and Ginger image

Bone-in chicken thighs are a favorite go-to for weeknight meals, as they cook relatively quickly, are versatile and impart a lot of flavor in a short amount of time. Here, they are browned, then braised in a fragrant tomato-coconut broth flecked with ginger, garlic, cumin and cinnamon. The result is a rich, stew-like dish, which works nicely served over white rice. By cooking the rice as the chicken finishes braising, you can get everything on the table at the same time. A good squeeze of lime is not required, but it does give the dish a bright finish. Serve any remaining sauce at the table, with crusty bread for sopping.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 to 2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, at room temperature
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons grapeseed or canola oil
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 (2-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 (14-ounce) can cherry or diced tomatoes with their juices
1 (13-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
Steamed white rice, for serving (optional)
3 tablespoons roughly chopped cilantro
1 lime, quartered, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Pat chicken thighs dry and season with salt and pepper. In a deep 12-inch skillet, heat the oil over medium-high. When the oil shimmers, add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and cook, undisturbed, until nicely browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip and brown the other side, 4 to 5 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • Turn heat to medium-low, add the onion and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, cumin, cinnamon and red-pepper flakes, and cook until the garlic and the spices are fragrant, about 1 minute. Season with salt.
  • Add the tomatoes with their juices and the coconut milk, and stir until combined, scraping up any brown bits that have formed at the bottom of the pan. Nestle the chicken back into the skillet along with any juices that have accumulated. Simmer, uncovered, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly, 15 to 20 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Divide the rice, if using, among bowls and plate the chicken on top, spooning additional sauce over it. Scatter with cilantro and a squeeze of lime, if you like.

Tips:

  • To achieve the best flavor, use fresh ingredients. If you can't find lemongrass or kaffir lime leaves, you can substitute lemongrass paste or lime zest, respectively.
  • Adjust the amount of chili peppers to your desired spice level. If you don't like spicy food, you can omit them altogether.
  • Be careful not to overcook the chicken. Otherwise, it will become dry and tough.
  • If you want a thicker sauce, you can add a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water) to the simmering sauce. Stir until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
  • Serve the chicken with rice, noodles, or your favorite side dish.

Conclusion:

This delicious and easy-to-make chicken dish is perfect for a quick and flavorful meal. The coconut milk, lemongrass, and ginger give the chicken a unique and flavorful taste that is sure to please everyone at the table. Whether you're a seasoned cook or a beginner, this recipe is sure to be a hit.
