THAI COCONUT LIME CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat a 9″ skillet (I use cast iron) over medium high heat. When the pan is hot but not smoking, add 1 tablespoon of the oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan.
• Add the chicken breasts to the pan and cook until browned on both sides, 2-3 minutes per side. Then remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.
• Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan along with the onion, garlic, and ginger. Lower the heat to medium-low and cook stirring often until the onion softens and is lightly browned, 4-5 minutes.
• Next add the optional chili, lime zest, coconut milk, and fish sauce. Bring the sauce to a boil, and using a wooden spoon, scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
• Lower the heat to maintain a simmer, and add the chicken breasts back to the pan. Cook for about 10 minutes, then turn the chicken breasts over and cook an additional 10 minutes, or until the chicken is just done in the center.
• When the chicken is done, add the lime juice to the sauce, and season to taste with salt. Sprinkle the chopped fresh herbs over the top if using, and serve!

COCONUT LIME CHICKEN

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!

COCONUT-LIME CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, bring the rice, water, coconut milk, sugar and salt to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender., Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the lime juice, soy sauce, lime zest, ginger, vinegar and honey; set aside. In a large skillet, saute chicken in canola and sesame oils until no longer pink. Add lime mixture to the pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Sprinkle with coconut and cilantro. Fluff rice with a fork and serve with chicken mixture.

COCONUT LIME CHICKEN STEW

Steps:

• For the chicken: In a large bowl, stir together the lime juice, orange juice, cilantro, garlic and chile peppers along with a pinch of salt and some pepper (you are basically making a ceviche mixture). Add the chicken and stir together. Cover and refrigerate.
• For the stew: Bring a pot of water to a simmer and add salt. Simmer the potatoes until tender, 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• In a 6- to 8-quart stainless steel pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the onions, mushrooms, carrots and scallions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened and browning slightly. Add 2 1/2 cups chicken stock, the lime juice and the potatoes and bring to a boil. Boil vigorously 5 minutes, then lower to a simmer and add the chicken ceviche mixture, the tomatoes, coconut milk, brown sugar, curry powder and the remaining 2 1/2 cups chicken stock. Bring to a simmer and cook over medium-low, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes. Taste and adjust with additional salt and pepper as needed. You may add more brown sugar, 1 teaspoon at a time, to deepen the flavor or knock down any acidity, but don't go too far!
• Serve with chips and cilantro.

SPICED COCONUT CHICKEN WITH CORIANDER & LIME

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.

COCONUT LIME CHICKEN CURRY

Steps:

• Cut chicken into 1-inch chunks and sautee in a little oil until surface is lightly brown (do not need to cook through). Remove chicken from pan. Stir in coconut milk, broth, curry paste, curry powder, and red pepper flakes, simmer for about 5 minutes.
• Add chicken back to pan and simmer about another 5-10 minutes, until the sauce is slightly thicker and chicken is fully cooked and tender.
• Add lime juice, zest and chile salsa and stir until heated through.
• Toss in stir-fried veggies if desired, and sprinkle with cilantro leaves. Serve with rice.

COCONUT-LIME CHICKEN WITH THAI GARNISHES

Steps:

• In a large glass bowl, combine lime zest and juice, ginger, garlic, sugar, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Slowly whisk in coconut milk until mixture is smooth. Submerge chicken in marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 and up to 12 hours.
• Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Cover a rimmed baking sheet with foil and fit with a wire rack. Remove chicken from marinade and shake to remove excess. Arrange in a single layer on rack, skin side up. Roast until an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees, 30 to 35 minutes. Serve with suggested accompaniments, if desired.

LIME, CHILLI AND COCONUT CHICKEN

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients except coconut milk and chicken breasts together in a plastic container big enough to also fit chicken into.
• Slice chicken breasts into strips - you should get about 4-6 strips from each chicken breast, depending on the size.
• Put the chicken breasts into the container with the marinade and mix well, making sure all chicken strips are thoroughly coated with the marinade.
• Seal the container and place it in the fridge for at least an hour.
• Remove from the fridge and heat a frying pan on medium-high heat on the stove.
• Take the chicken strips out of the marinade, and scrape all the marinade off. Put the chicken in the pan and cook.
• After one side of the strips are browned, turn over. Then tip the remaining marinade into the pan, around the chicken.
• Cook chicken and marinade for a few seconds, then add coconut milk. Allow to boil, then turn down and simmer for 2-3 minutes, then serve with steamed rice and veggies.
