GRILLED THAI CURRY CHICKEN SKEWERS WITH COCONUT-PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Pound the chicken breasts to an even ½-inch thickness between two pieces of wax or parchment paper. Cut the breasts into 1½" pieces and set aside.
• Make the marinade by combining the soy sauce, dark brown sugar, lime zest, vegetable oil, garlic, curry powder, ginger, cardamom and salt in a large bowl. Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and mix until chicken is evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Make the sauce by whisking together the coconut milk, peanut butter, brown sugar, soy sauce and red curry paste in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer, then cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes. Add the fresh lime juice. Set aside.
• Preheat the grill to high heat. Meanwhile, thread the chicken pieces onto skewers. Grease the grill. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10 minutes, turning once, or until the chicken is cooked through. Serve the chicken skewers with the Coconut-Peanut Sauce and lime wedges, if desired.

EASY THAI COCONUT CURRY CHICKEN

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Place all curry paste ingredients in your food processor or blender.
• Add 3 to 4 tablespoons of the coconut milk to help blend ingredients and blitz to create a fragrant Thai curry paste.
• Heat a wok or deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle in the oil and swirl around, then add the curry paste. Stir-fry 1 minute to release the fragrance.
• Then add the chicken pieces, and turn pieces to coat.
• Then add the stock and remaining coconut milk.
• Next add the potatoes, lime or bay leaves, and whole cumin seed. Stir and bring to a gentle boil.
• Cover and reduce heat to medium-low, gently simmering 15 minutes. Stir occasionally.
• Add the tomatoes and stir. Then continue cooking another 15 minutes, or until chicken has achieved desired tenderness.
• While curry is cooking, prepare the topping. Place shredded coconut in a dry frying pan over medium-high heat. Stir until coconut turns light golden brown. Transfer to a bowl and set aside to cool.
• When chicken and potatoes are tender, remove from heat. Add 3/4 of the toasted coconut and stir in. Taste the curry, adding more fish sauce for more salt/flavor. If you find it too salty or sweet, add more lime or lemon juice. Add more chili for more intense spiciness.
• Portion out curry into bowls or plates. Top each one with fresh basil and a generous sprinkling of the toasted coconut. Serve with plenty of steamed jasmine rice on the side.
• Enjoy!
