COCONUT CHICKEN
I couldn't find a recipe for coconut chicken that is typically served at a Chinese buffet, so I made my own. This is baked, not fried. I like to serve this with rice and edamame. My husband and picky 2 year old love this!

Steps:
- Pour half the coconut milk, the garlic, soy sauce, and lime juice into a resealable plastic zipper bag, and shake to thoroughly combine the marinade. Place the chicken strips into the bag, squeeze several times to coat the chicken with marinade, and refrigerate at least 3 hours. Reserve the rest of the coconut milk.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and grease with olive oil.
- Place the shredded coconut into a blender or food processor and pulse several times until the coconut is ground into crumbs. Mix it with panko crumbs, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Place the flour into a second bowl, and the egg into a third shallow bowl. Shake excess marinade from chicken strips, and dip them into the flour to thoroughly coat; then dip into egg, and finally into the coconut crumb mixture. Place the coated strips onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the chicken strips in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
- Mix the reserved coconut milk and mayonnaise in a small saucepan, and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat; serve the sauce drizzled over the chicken strips or on the side for dipping.

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.

Steps:
- Use a stick blender or mini food processor to whizz up all the chutney ingredients, then chill.
- Heat the oil in a large, lidded frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the onions and fry for 9-10 mins, then add the ginger, garlic and chilli. Cook for a few mins more, then add the chicken. Brown well, then add half the coriander chutney and reduce the heat. Cover and cook for 15-20 mins or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Rinse the rice in a sieve, then tip into a large, lidded saucepan. Stir in all the ingredients for the rice. Pour over enough boiling water to cover the rice by 1cm, cover, bring to the boil and cook for 5 mins. Turn off the heat and leave to steam-cook with the lid on for 20 mins. Fluff up with a fork, then season.
- Put the broccoli and green beans in a pan and add 100ml boiling water. Cover and cook over a medium-high heat for 4-5 mins. Drain and return to the pan with the oil, ginger, chilli flakes and some seasoning. Cook for another 2 mins, then serve with the chicken, remaining chutney and the rice.

Tips:
- To achieve a crispy and flavorful chicken, use a combination of all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, and pepper to coat the chicken pieces. The cornstarch helps create a crispy texture, while the flour and seasonings provide flavor.
- For a tender and juicy chicken, marinate it in a mixture of yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, and lemon juice for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pan or skillet to cook the chicken. This will help distribute the heat evenly and prevent the chicken from sticking to the pan.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat, turning occasionally, until it is golden brown and cooked through. This will ensure that the chicken is cooked evenly and not overcooked.
- Serve the chicken immediately with the spiced coconut sauce, coriander-lime sauce, and your favorite sides. The spiced coconut sauce adds a rich and creamy flavor, while the coriander-lime sauce provides a refreshing and tangy contrast.
Conclusion:
This Spiced Coconut Chicken with Coriander-Lime recipe is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or even as a filling for tacos or wraps. The combination of spices, coconut milk, and fresh herbs creates a flavorful and aromatic dish that is sure to impress your friends and family. So, gather your ingredients and give this recipe a try. You won't regret it!
