Thai-Inspired Coconut Lime Chicken

Hey there, foodies! Today I’m excited to share with you a unique and flavorful recipe that combines the tropical flavors of coconut and lime with tender chicken. This dish is perfect for a summer gathering or whenever you’re in the mood for something a little exotic. Let’s dive in!

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (600g)
  • 1 can of coconut milk (400ml)
  • 2 limes (zested and juiced)
  • 4 cloves of garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger (grated)
  • A handful of fresh cilantro (chopped)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

  • skillet
  • mixing bowl
  • grater
  • knife

Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium heat and sear the chicken on both sides until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for a minute until fragrant. Pour in the coconut milk, lime juice, and lime zest. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Return the chicken to the skillet and let it simmer in the coconut lime sauce for another 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let the sauce reduce slightly. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.

To serve, spoon the coconut lime sauce over the chicken and garnish with fresh cilantro. This dish pairs perfectly with steamed rice or your favorite veggies.

**Tip:** For an extra burst of flavor, try marinating the chicken in the coconut lime sauce for a few hours before cooking. This will infuse the meat with even more deliciousness!
