Discover a New Twist on a Classic Dish

Today, I’m excited to share a unique recipe that combines the flavors of the Mediterranean with a touch of Asian influence. This dish is perfect for a cozy night in or a special dinner with friends. The unusual combination of ingredients will surely surprise and delight your taste buds!

Ingredients:

  • 2 chicken breasts (300g)
  • 1 can of coconut milk (400ml)
  • 3 tablespoons of soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup of capers (40g)
  • 1/2 cup of sliced green olives (50g)
  • 1 tablespoon of minced ginger
  • A handful of fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 lime, juiced

Kitchen Tools:

  • skillet
  • knife
  • cutting board
  • wooden spoon
  • grater

To start, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the chicken breasts. Cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the minced ginger and sauté for a minute until fragrant. Pour in the coconut milk and soy sauce, stirring to combine. Add the capers, sliced green olives, and the juice of one lime. Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes until it starts to thicken.

Slice the cooked chicken breasts into strips and return them to the skillet. Stir to coat the chicken in the flavorful sauce. Let everything simmer together for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Before serving, garnish the dish with fresh cilantro leaves and a sprinkle of lime zest for an extra pop of flavor. This unique combination of ingredients creates a dish that is both savory and tangy, with a hint of sweetness from the coconut milk.

Once cooked, the dish weighs approximately 900g and serves 4 people. Each serving is around 225g and has an estimated calorie count of 350.

One clever tip for this recipe is to marinate the chicken in a mixture of soy sauce and lime juice for an hour before cooking. This will add an extra layer of flavor to the dish and make the chicken even more tender and delicious.

I hope you enjoy trying out this creative recipe and don’t hesitate to make it your own by adding your favorite ingredients or spices. Bon appétit!
