Saucy Indonesian Chicken image

This was on a recipe card I found in my recipe cabinet. I tweaked it a little, so I'll post it the way I made it. It is spicey, and great on these awful cold nights!

Categories     Chicken

Time 2h10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 chicken breasts, cut into large chunks
1 (270 ml) can low-fat coconut milk
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons cayenne
3 tablespoons peanut butter
1 tablespoon coriander
1 tablespoon water
2 medium onions, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind

Steps:

  • Combine turmeric, salt, ginger, pepper, cayenne, peanut butter, coriander, and water. Mix to a paste.
  • Sauté onions & garlic in a little olive oil until tender. Add the peanut butter paste, sauté 2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat. Combine well with chicken. Refrigerate in a covered bowl for at least 1 hour. (I left mine overnight, and the flavors were awesome).
  • In a large pan, bring the coconut to the boil. Add chicken pieces, paste, and lemon rind. Stir until all combined. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken pieces from the pan, and place under the grill until browned. Spoon remaining sauce over the chicken to serve.
  • We served this with a garden salad, but next time I'm thinking of cutting the chicken smaller, and stirring some Singapore noodles through.
