COCONUT-BRAISED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH TURMERIC AND PEPPERS
Coriander, lemongrass, ginger, garlic, turmeric and coconut milk create layers of complex flavor in this braised chicken dish that's lighter than many traditional curries. Available at Thai supermarkets and other specialty food stores, fresh makrut lime leaves are optional, but perk things up. Any leftover lime leaves - sublime when sautéed with butter and seafood, sliced very thinly and sprinkled as a garnish, or simmered into simple syrup for cocktails - can be stashed in your freezer, where they'll keep for months.

Steps:
- In a large, deep skillet, heat the oil over medium. In a small bowl, combine the coriander with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Pat the chicken dry using paper towels, then rub the seasoning all over the chicken. Add the chicken to the skillet, skin-side down, and cook until starting to heat through on one side, 10 minutes. Raise the heat to medium-high and continue to cook, without flipping, until skin is well browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate, browned-side up.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the scallions, lemongrass, ginger, garlic, turmeric and lime leaves, if using, and cook, stirring frequently, until tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Stir in the stock and coconut milk and bring to a boil over high. Add the chicken, browned-side up, and cook over medium-low until cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes for thighs or 30 to 35 minutes for legs. (Chicken is cooked through when a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165 degrees, or the juices run clear without a trace of pink when chicken is pierced with a knife.)
- Transfer the chicken to a plate, browned-side up. Whisk the sauce in the skillet to emulsify, season to taste with salt and pepper, then add the sliced peppers and cook over medium just until slightly softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Return the chicken to the skillet, browned-side up, and add a few small sprigs cilantro on top of the sauce, for garnish.
- Serve with rice or noodles, and pass bowls of cilantro at the table, for seasoning to taste.
COCONUT BAKED CHICKEN THIGHS
Staightforward one-dish meal for a weeknight. Uses the slightly exotic Ume plum vinegar that I personally believe no kitchen should ever be without. Also uses the currently faddish but still delicious coconut milk. I use full-fat coconut milk because it's delicious and there are rumors afoot that that kind of fat is good for you. #winning

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Defrost spinach in microwave.
- Spread rice in the bottom of a 9 by 13 inch baking dish.
- Add coconut milk and chicken broth.
- Sprinkle with vinegar, oil, and spices.
- Add chicken pieces. Using chopsticks, turn pieces to coat with coconut milk mixture.
- Use chopsticks to distribute spinach throughout casserole.
- Cover baking dish tightly with foil. Bake for 35-45 minutes or until rice is tender, chicken is no longer pink, and most of the liquid is absorbed.
- Notes: Ume plum vinegar is found in specialty stores. It's very sour and salty. If it's not available, use any good flavored vinegar and add salt to taste with the spices. This is delicious served with a squeeze of lime juice and a simple "salad" of diced fresh tomatoes, lightly salted.
COCONUT BAKED CHICKEN THIGHS
Since we went low carb, I wanted to make sure my husband didn't feel like he was missing anything. I created this recipe to give him a "breaded" baked chicken fix. It turned out so tender and flavorful, we'll definitely be having this again!
