I'm sure everyone has eaten a lot of chicken breasts because they are the go to food when you are looking for something lean, versatile and easy to prepare. In fact, I'll lay odds that most have some in the freezer.
I've prepared them in almost every way imaginable and other than switching to another type of protein, I decided to change how I prepared it. Found this recipe I never tried, in fact I don't think I have ever used coconut milk for cooking. Here's the recipe.
THAI CHICKEN CURRY
INGREDIENTS
6 chicken breast cutlets, about 110 grams each
2 tablespoons red Thai curry paste
1 teaspoon neutral oil - Note: I recommend coconut oil
SAUCE:
1/2 cup coconut milk (canned)
1/2 cup chicken broth
2/3 cup fresh basil leaves, loosely packed (about 10 large or 20 small leaves)
3 cloves garlic, chopped or passed through a garlic press
3 green onions, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups of cooked brown rice, for serving
DIRECTIONS
Lightly pound or press the chicken breasts so that they are no thicker than 3/4 of an inch. Coat each cutlet with a teaspoon of the curry paste. Heat the oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat, brush the oil to coat the whole pan.
Place the chicken cutlets in the pan, smooth side of the cutlet down. Turn the heat slightly down to medium, and cover the pan. Cook for 5 minutes, uncover, and flip the chicken using a spatula. (If the chicken is stuck to the pan, let it cook for another minute or two and then flip.)
Let the chicken cook on the second side, uncovered, for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set on cooked brown rice on plate or platter to serve. Meanwhile, place all the sauce ingredients in a blender and pulse just enough to mix, leaving some of the basil in flecks. Pour the sauce into a small saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Spoon a few tablespoons of sauce over the chicken and rice.
