Poached chicken in coconut sauce served on a bed of asian greens and jasmine rice.
Usually I'm the one looking for and trying different recipes while he sticks to his tried and true spag bols, roasts and lamb chop dishes.
While I've been working long hours and also menu planning (which by the way, has been a big help in saving money - one for another post) my darling husband has been trying his hand at some of the dishes.
This poached chicken in coconut cream is his latest creation and I have to say it was delicious!
The sauce was 'to die for'. The creaminess of the coconut sauce combined with the bite of the lime juice and saltiness of the fish sauce.
Definitely worth a try.
Ingredients
2 x 270ml cans coconut cream
2 cups chicken stock
1 stalk lemongrass
1 tablespoon fish sauce
3 teaspoons lime juice
4 small chicken breasts
steamed asian greens
Method
1.Place coconut cream, chicekn stock, lemongrass, fish sauce and lime juice in a large frying pan on low heat. Bring to a simmer, add chicken breasts and poach for 6-7 minutes each side.
2. Remove pan from heat and set aside for 5 minutes.
3. Placed steamed asian greens on four serving plates. Slice chicken, place on top of greens and spoon over a little poaching liquid.
We served ours with jasmine rice.
