Provided by Christina

Categories     Entree

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 chicken breasts
2 tbsp cooking fat of choice ((I use coconut oil.))
1/4 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup lime juice
1 1/2 cup canned coconut milk (unsweetened and full fat (should not say lite or low fat))
1 tbsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/8 cup fresh chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Add your cooking fat of choice to a large skillet and heat on medium high heat.
  • Unless your chicken breasts are already fairly thin slice them horizontally. This will give you very thin cutlets so they'll cook faster and more evenly.
  • Add your chicken breasts to the hot pan. Liberally salt and pepper the side facing up. Saute until each side has some browning and chicken is cooked through or mostly cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
  • Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate. Lower heat to medium.
  • Add chicken stock, lime juice, coconut milk (stir it in the can so that you don't have any separation), minced garlic, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper to the skillet. You'll have a bit of coconut milk remaining in your can. Set it aside because we'll drizzle some of that on top after everything is finished. Stir your sauce, scraping up any browned bits remaining in the pan from when you cooked your chicken.
  • Add the chicken breasts back to the skillet with the sauce. Cover. Let simmer on medium to medium low for 5 minutes.
  • Right before serving use a spoon to scrape up some of the remaining coconut milk from the can and drizzle it over your chicken. Sprinkle fresh chopped cilantro. You're done!
  • Serve with vegetables or potatoes to take full advantage of the yummy coconut lime sauce!

Provided by Diana Henry

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 1h20m

Yield Serves 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tbsp oil
8 skin-on and bone-in chicken thighs
1 large onion , roughly chopped
4 garlic cloves , grated to a purée
3cm piece ginger , peeled and grated
½ tsp turmeric
2 tsp ground cumin
2 green chillies , halved, deseeded and finely chopped
200g butternut squash , peeled, deseeded and cut into slices (prepared weight)
100g cauliflower florets
225g basmati rice
10g bunch coriander , chopped
2 limes , zested and juiced
2 lime leaves
300ml coconut milk
400ml chicken stock

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat the oil in a 30cm shallow casserole dish or high-sided frying pan. Fry the chicken thighs, skin-side down, just to get some colour on them (they will take on a deeper colour in the oven). Transfer them to another dish. Fry the onion in the pan until soft and pale gold. Add the garlic, spices and chillies. Cook for 2 mins more, then stir in the squash, cauliflower, rice, half the coriander, the lime zest, half the lime juice, the lime leaves and some seasoning. Put the chicken back in the pan, this time skin-side up, and season that as well.
  • Heat the coconut milk and the chicken stock together until just below boiling point. Pour this around the chicken and put the pan in the oven, uncovered. Cook for 40 mins, or until the chicken is cooked through and the liquid has been absorbed by the rice. Squeeze over the remaining lime and scatter with the rest of the coriander. You could gently push the coriander into the rice, so it's not all on top. Serve immediately.

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 chicken thighs
4 chicken legs, drumsticks
3 tablespoons peanut oil
1/2 cup green onion, sliced
1/2 cup salsa
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
2 dried red hot peppers
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 (13 1/2 ounce) can coconut milk
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
3 cups rice, cooked
1 lime, sliced (optional)
1/2 cup coconut, grated

Steps:

  • In a large, nonstick frypan, place oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add the chicken and cook about 5 minutes to brown on all sides; remove from the frypan and keep warm.
  • To the pan, add onions, salsa, garlic, peppers, curry, salt, and pepper and cook about 2 minutes, stirring until onion has browned.
  • Return chicken to the pan; pour coconut milk and lime juice over the chicken and simmer on low heat about 30 minutes or until fork can be inserted in chicken with ease.
  • Remove and discard the peppers.
  • To serve, place rice in serving platter and then top with chicken mixture.
  • Garnish with lime slices and sprinkle with some of the grated coconut and pass the remainder.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect spicy chicken, use a combination of cayenne pepper, chili powder, and paprika for a balanced heat. Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.
  • For a crispy coating, double-coat the chicken in the seasoned flour mixture. Make sure the chicken is completely coated to ensure even cooking and a golden-brown crust.
  • To achieve a flavorful and tangy coconut-lime sauce, use a combination of coconut milk, lime juice, ginger, garlic, and lemongrass. Simmer the sauce until it thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Serve the spicy chicken immediately with the coconut-lime sauce drizzled over the top. Garnish with chopped cilantro and lime wedges for an extra burst of flavor and color.
