Coconut Curry Poached Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound the chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of about 1/2 inch. Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over high heat, and pan-fry the chicken breasts until the meat is no longer pink, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken breasts to a plate.
• Reduce the heat to medium; stir the green onions and curry paste into the skillet, and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently. Pour the broth into the skillet, and scrape up and dissolve any brown flavor bits in the skillet with a spoon. Bring the mixture to a full boil, and cook until the mixture has thickened into a glaze, about 10 minutes; pour in the coconut milk, bring back to a boil, and cook until thickened, about 10 more minutes. Mix the lime juice into the sauce, and stir in any juices that have collected from the chicken. Return the chicken breasts to the pan, spoon sauce over the chicken, and simmer until heated through, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro to serve.

Steps:

• Place the curry paste in a frying pan over medium-high heat and cook for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant.
• Add the chicken and sweet potato to the pan and cook for 2 minutes, then add the stock and coconut milk and reduce the heat to low.
• Allow to simmer gently for 12 minutes or until the chicken and sweet potato are cooked.
• To serve, sprinkle the coriander over the chicken and serve with steamed rice or steamed greens.
