Chilli Chicken With Basil Coconut Cream image

Here is a quick and easy Thai dish that is very good without to much preparation time. I usually make this as one of the dishes I make when I do a Thai night, of course with the ingredients cut way back, as I make this with two or three other dishes to accompany it. I think I have gotten close to what would be the right amount for 4 people as one main dish.

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons peanut oil
4 (800 -900 g) chicken breasts, sliced thickly
1 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
3 Thai red chili peppers, finely chopped (I add about half the seeds to chicken mixture my family does not like spicy food although I do, This)
1 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce (sounds like a lot I know, I usually use only 1-2Teaspoons in most recipes but trust me this works he)
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
300 ml coconut cream (I use kara brand I really like this one as it is way more creamier than other brands.)
100 ml coconut milk (this is only extra if serving over jasmine rice. I don't think there will be enough liquid with just)
1 cup fresh basil, finely shredded
1 tablespoon fresh coriander, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a wok or large frying pan, add onion, chilli and garlic, cook until onion is soft.
  • Add chicken to pan stir-fry until cooked though. Add sauce, cream, chilli powder, sugar (and milk if serving over rice.) A wok gets hotter than a frying pan, you may want to cover and cook a couple of minutes if using a frying pan to make sure chicken is cooked through.
  • Add basil and coriander toss until hot, serve immediately.
  • To serve: Serve over jasmine rice garnish with coriander leaf.

This dish was amazing! The chicken was so tender and the sauce was so flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my dish didn't turn out as flavorful as I expected. It was still good, but it could have been better.

This dish was a little too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. Next time I'll use less chili pepper.
