Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Asian     Indonesian

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (15 ounce) can cream of coconut
1 cup hot water
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon chili powder
salt and pepper to taste
2 onions, chopped
3 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed

Steps:

  • Mix the cream of coconut with the hot water until smooth and well blended, and set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and place the chicken breasts into the hot oil. Pan-fry the chicken breasts until they have begun to brown but are still pink inside, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken breasts to paper towels, and sprinkle them with lemon juice, ginger, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Place the onions and garlic into the skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet on top of the cooked onions and garlic, and pour the coconut cream mixture over the chicken. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened, about 35 minutes.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Olive oil cooking spray, for the wire rack and chicken
1/2 cup coconut flour
2 large eggs
1/2 cup light coconut milk
1 1/2 cups whole wheat panko crumbs
1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut, preferably Bob's Red Mill
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds chicken tenders
1 cup store-bought mango chutney
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
1 jalapeno, small dice
Serving suggestions: iceberg lettuce, diced carrots, diced tomatoes, shredded red cabbage, 1 to 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Steps:

  • For the chicken tenders: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place a wire rack on a sheet pan and spray with cooking spray.
  • Create a 3-step breading process in 3 separate shallow bowls. Put the coconut flour in the first bowl, eggs and coconut milk in the second bowl, whisked to combine, and panko, coconut, salt and pepper in the last bowl, stirred to combine.
  • Pat the chicken dry and add it to the coconut flour, shaking off any excess, then dip it in the egg mixture, making sure to coat the chicken entirely. Lastly, lay the chicken in the panko mixture, turning it over and pressing into the breading to coat evenly. Place on the wire rack. Spray the chicken with additional cooking spray. Bake until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. (See Cook's Note.)
  • For the dipping sauce: Whisk together the chutney, yogurt and jalapeno in a medium bowl.
  • To serve this as a salad, combine the iceberg, carrots, tomatoes and red cabbage together in a bowl. Whisk the apple cider vinegar into the mango dipping sauce to make a dressing. Lightly dress the salad with the mango dressing. Top with the coconut chicken and serve.

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)

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.

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.

CHICKEN WITH COCONUT SAUCE



Chicken with Coconut Sauce image

The healthy fat from the coconut sauce adds to the flavor of this grilled chicken dish.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup canned unsweetened coconut milk (not low-fat)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more for grates
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, (6 to 8 ounces each)
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 jalapeño chiles
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Cooked white rice (optional)
Lime wedges, (optional)

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, bring coconut milk to a gentle simmer; cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened and reduced to 1/2 cup, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat grill to high; oil grates. Rub chicken all over with oil; season generously with salt and pepper. Place chicken and jalapenos on grill; cover. Cook, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and jalapenos are blackened all over, 12 to 16 minutes.
  • Transfer chicken to a platter; keep warm. Peel jalapenos, rubbing off the blackened skins with a paper towel; transfer to a blender. Add reduced coconut milk, lime juice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Blend on high speed until smooth.
  • Slice chicken crosswise into 4 or 5 pieces, and place on plates; spoon coconut sauce over the top. Serve with rice and lime wedges, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. If you can, use fresh coconut milk instead of canned. Fresh coconut milk is thicker and creamier, and it has a more pronounced coconut flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the amount of heat in the dish. If you like spicy food, add more chili peppers or cayenne pepper. If you prefer a milder dish, omit the chili peppers or use a milder variety.
  • Serve with rice or quinoa for a complete meal. Java chicken in coconut sauce is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Rice, quinoa, and steamed vegetables are all great options.

Conclusion:

Java chicken in coconut sauce is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The combination of tender chicken, creamy coconut sauce, and fragrant spices is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a delicious and exotic dish to try, give Java chicken in coconut sauce a try. You won't be disappointed!
