THAI COCONUT LIME CHICKEN WITH PEPPERS

Categories     Chicken     Bake     Quick & Easy     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Dinner

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup light coconut milk
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 tsp cayenne
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 large red bell pepper, chopped
1 large yellow bell pepper, chopped
1 glove garlic, chopped
4 chicken breasts, on the bone with skin

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425-F Lightly oil a baking dish that is at least 2 inches deep and big enough to hold the chicken breasts without touching. In a measuring cup mix the coconut milk, lime, cayenne and 1 tbsp of the sugar. In the baking dish, toss the peppers and garlic with half of the coconut milk mixture. Place the chicken on top of the peppers and drizzle with the remaining coconut milk mixture. Sprinkle the remaining sugar over the chicken. Bake uncovered about 25 minutes, until the tops are browned and the breasts are 160-F on an insta-read thermometer.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. If possible, use organic, locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken is a delicate meat, so it's important to not overcook it. Cook it until it is just cooked through, or it will become dry and tough.
  • Use a Good Quality Coconut Milk: Coconut milk is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality brand. Look for unsweetened coconut milk that is thick and creamy.
  • Add Vegetables: If you want to add some vegetables to this dish, you can stir in some chopped bell peppers, carrots, or snow peas.

Conclusion:

This Thai Coconut Lime Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the sauce is flavorful and creamy. Serve it over rice or noodles, and you have a complete meal.
