Time 50m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

2 tablespoons plain yogurt
1 tablespoon sweet mango chutney (I have used other sweet chutneys too)
1 teaspoon curry
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 boneless chicken breasts
2 lbs sweet potatoes
2 -3 celery ribs, sliced
1/2 cup roasted cashew nuts, roughly chopped
1/4 cup chopped dates
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 -2 tablespoon sweet mango chutney
3 -4 tablespoons orange juice
1 teaspoon curry
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

Put the first 4 ingredients into a plastic bag.
Add the chicken, then massage the bag so the chicken is evenly coated with the marinade. Set aside for at least 15 minutes. (Refrigerate if marinating for longer period of time).
Peel the potatoes and cut into 1 inch cubes. Boil gently until tender, then leave to cool to room temperature.
Cook the chicken by grilling for 5-10 minutes on each side (depending on thickness) or until the outside has browned and the juices run clear.
Leave chicken to stand for 5-10 minutes, then cut into bite sized pieces.
While the chicken is cooking, stir the dressing ingredients together, thinning to the desired consistency with the orange juice, and prepare the remaining salad ingredients.
Place the cooled well drained potato, the chicken and remaining ingredients (reserving a little cilantro to garnish) in a large bowl, drizzle with dressing, then toss gently to combine.
Garnish with the reserved cilantro and serve immediately or refrigerate until required.

CHICKEN CURRY WITH SWEET POTATOES AND COCONUT MILK

Chicken Curry With Sweet Potatoes and Coconut Milk image

I used to think the only reason to buy a whole chicken was to actually cook it whole. Why buy one for a recipe calling for parts when the supermarket will cut up the bird for you? Then one day my mother set me straight. It's one thing to buy a package of thighs or drumsticks when you need a specific part, but you might as well cut up your own bird if you need a variety. You can use your cut-up chicken to make this ginger-and-lime-scented curry with coconut milk, sweet potatoes and chiles. Or substitute your favorite part, be it wings or legs or bone-in breasts. The bright, spicy and gently sweet flavors work well with any pieces of fowl in the pot. When the chicken in this recipe is nearly done braising, you can fry up the liver, then coat it in some of the luscious sauce. If your mother is anything like mine, she'd be proud.

Ingredients

1 (3 1/2 pound) whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, more as needed
Black pepper, as needed
2 tablespoons peanut, safflower or vegetable oil
1/4 cup finely chopped scallion
1 1/2 inches fresh ginger, peeled and grated (1 1/2 tablespoons)
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 to 2 jalapeno or Serrano chiles, to taste, seeded and finely chopped
2 tablespoons red curry paste
1 (15 1/2-ounce) can coconut milk
2 medium sweet potatoes (1 pound), peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
3/4 cup coconut flakes
1 tablespoon black or brown mustard seeds
Fresh cilantro leaves
Lime wedges

Steps:

Heat oven to 325 degrees. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add oil. Brown chicken pieces, in batches if necessary, until golden all over, 6 to 8 minutes per batch. Transfer chicken to a plate.
Stir scallion, ginger, garlic and chiles into pot and reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring, until soft, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in curry paste and cook 1 minute. Stir in coconut milk and sweet potatoes. Arrange chicken pieces on top of potatoes, placing breast meat on top. Pour in enough water to come halfway up the sides of chicken. Bring to a boil. Cover pot and transfer to oven. Bake until chicken is cooked through, about 40 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large dry skillet over medium heat, toast coconut flakes until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Add mustard seeds and toast until they begin to pop, 1 minute more. Transfer to a bowl and season with a pinch of salt.
Transfer chicken and sweet potatoes to a platter. Return Dutch oven to the stove and simmer over medium-high heat until cooking liquid has thickened to a saucelike consistency, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour over chicken and potatoes. Sprinkle with the coconut and mustard seed mixture and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing.
