Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 1h20m

Yield Serves 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tbsp oil
8 skin-on and bone-in chicken thighs
1 large onion , roughly chopped
4 garlic cloves , grated to a purée
3cm piece ginger , peeled and grated
½ tsp turmeric
2 tsp ground cumin
2 green chillies , halved, deseeded and finely chopped
200g butternut squash , peeled, deseeded and cut into slices (prepared weight)
100g cauliflower florets
225g basmati rice
10g bunch coriander , chopped
2 limes , zested and juiced
2 lime leaves
300ml coconut milk
400ml chicken stock

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.

CHILI LIME CHICKEN



Chili Lime Chicken image

This recipe combines many of the spices that I grew up with and that have become a distinctive part of much of my cooking including dishes such as chili Colorado, posole, and Frontera™ style carne asada. I would describe this dish as more Tex-Mex or New Mexican than Mexican. Serve on a bed of rice or slice thinly for use in tacos or to top a green salad.

Time 3h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

¼ cup ancho chile powder
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon chipotle chile powder
⅔ cup canola oil, or more as needed
1 large lime, juiced
8 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Steps:

  • Combine ancho chile powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and chipotle powder in a medium glass or ceramic bowl. Whisk in canola oil and lime juice until well combined; thin with additional canola oil if mixture seems too thick.
  • Arrange chicken in a glass or ceramic baking dish and pour the marinade over the chicken, covering it completely. Marinate in the refrigerator for 3 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Arrange the chicken on the baking sheet; do not crowd. Discard any excess marinade.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the centers, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 to 6 minutes.

LIME, CHILLI AND COCONUT CHICKEN



Lime, Chilli and Coconut Chicken image

This is my version of a Thai style dish. I certainly wouldn't call it authentic by any standards, but it's still popular with those who have eaten it! If you don't like or don't have lime, you can substitute lemon and get a very similar taste. Also please feel free to add or remove chile to your liking - my husband doesn't like very hot food, so this is a fairly mild version. If you don't have fresh ginger, you can also use the minced variety that comes in a jar. The serving size is listed as 2-4 as we don't eat a lot of meat, so for the 2 of us this will do 2 meals. However, if you don't serve this with veggies and eat a large amount of meat, it may only do 2 meals.

Time 2h15m

Yield 2 , 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lime, juice and zest of
1/2 lemon, juice of
2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
1 large garlic clove, finely chopped
1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated or finely chopped)
1 mild chile, finely chopped (seeds removed)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 chicken breasts
0.5 (400 ml) can light coconut cream

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.
