CHICKEN BREASTS WITH THAI FLAVORS

• Combine with the ground cumin, minced ginger, cilantro, jalapeno, lime zest and juice, oil, black pepper and salt.
• Put the chicken breasts in a glass dish and pour marinade over.
• Turn the chicken to coat.

THAI-STYLE CHICKEN BREASTS IN FOIL

Steps:

• Tear off two sheets of aluminum foil, each about 18 inches square, and place one on top of the other. Use 1 tablespoon of the oil to smear a patch in the center of the foil, large enough to hold the chicken. Make a bed of the lotus root or jicama in the center, then top with the chicken breasts, red pepper, mango, lime lives, scallions, coconut milk, nam pla, and another tablespoon of the oil.
• Fold the foil over the chicken onto itself and crimp the edges as tightly as possible by making 1- or 2- inch folds, one after the other, each sealing the other. Seal the package very tightly, but leave plenty of room around the chicken. (You can prepare the recipe up to 3 hours in advance to this point; refrigerate the package as is for up to 3 hours before proceeding.
• Place a skillet large enough to hold the package over high heat. A minute later, add the remaining oil, then pour out all but a film. Put the package in the skillet; it will sizzle. About 2 minutes later, the package will expand like a balloon; be careful of the escaping steam. Cook for 5 minutes longer from that point.
• Remove the package from the heat, again taking care to avoid any escaping steam. Let rest for 1 minute, then cut a slit down the length of the top with a knife. Use a knife and fork to open up the package, then spoon the chicken, garnish, and juices onto a plate and serve.

SLICED CHICKEN BREASTS IN A THAI SAUCE

Steps:

• Flatten the breasts gently with a meat mallet. Dredge lightly in the flour, and cut into strips.
• Heat a good layer of oil in a pan. Fry the strips, stirring, until done. Use quite a high heat: they will cook quickly. Drain on kitchen paper, and keep warm.
• Fry the sweet pepper strips in the same pan, stirring. You might have to add more oil. Fry briefly, so that they are still crisp.
• Then add the ginger, garlic and spring onion, and stir through for a minute or so.
• Remove from heat, and stir in the Thai sweet chilli sauce.
• Put the chicken strips in a serving bowl, and spoon over the peppers and sauce.
• Nice-looking if served on top of a mound of jasmine rice, or -- healthier -- brown basmati. Nice sides are al dente thin baby green beans and a crisp salad.
