Gingered Coconut Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the onions and chiles and lower the heat. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes, or until the onions are golden brown and well caramelized.
• 2. Stir in the ginger and lemongrass and saute for 2 minutes. Add the potatoes and stir to combine. Stir in the black cumin and turmeric. When the spices are well incorporated, stir in the coconut milk and the half-and half. Add salt and remove from the heat.
• 3. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• 4. Place the chicken in a Dutch oven or another large heavy ovenproof casserole. Pour the coconut mixture over the top of the chicken. Cover and bake for about 1 hour, or until the chicken is very tender.
• 5. Serve, family style, with basmati rice, a green salad, and warm Indian breads.
• Note: In India, the chiles would be left in the finished dish, but if you are concerned about them being eaten, remove them before serving.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Rub chicken with 1 tablespoon of oil, and season with 1 teaspoon of salt and ¼ teaspoon of pepper.
• In a large Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium. Working in two batches, brown chicken, turning halfway, until no longer pink, around 5 minutes per batch. Transfer to a plate.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, the ginger and the garlic to the empty pot, and stir until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add rice and stir until evenly coated in the oil. Add broth, coconut milk, bell pepper, cashews, scallions and the remaining 1 teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Stir to lift up any browned bits on the bottom of the pot. Arrange chicken on top, add any accumulated juices from the plate and bring to a boil over high.
• Cover and bake until all of the liquid is absorbed, rice is tender and chicken is cooked through, 25 minutes. Scatter cilantro over the chicken and rice, then divide among bowls. Serve with hot sauce.

Steps:

• Combine 1 cup of the coconut milk, the lime zest, half of the garlic, the grated ginger, brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Cover and let marinate 8 hours or overnight.
• Preheat a grill to medium high. Remove the chicken from the marinade and season lightly with salt.
• Heat the coconut oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the remaining garlic and the chopped ginger. Cook, stirring, until softened but not browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the rice; cook, stirring, until slightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the remaining coconut milk, 1 1/4 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer, then stir and reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, brush the grill with coconut oil. Grill the chicken until well marked and cooked through, about 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Transfer to a plate and loosely cover.
• Fluff the rice with a fork. Add the broccoli, toasted coconut and scallions to the pan; toss to combine. Let sit to slightly cook the broccoli, about 2 minutes. Divide the chicken and rice among plates. Serve with lime wedges.

Steps:

• 1. In a large mixing bowl mix all of the ingredients except for the chiken breast. Mix until well blended and add in the chicken breast.
• 2. This needs to marinate for at least for 45 minuets.
• 3. Turn on oven to broil and set oven-racks so they are about 6 inches from the element.
• 4. Grease broiler pan and place chicken on it.
• 5.Cook on both sides for about 4-6 minuets or until chicken is no longer pink.
• 6. Remove from pan and garnish with cilantro.

Steps:

• Whisk garlic, ginger, coconut milk, lime zest and juice, tomato paste, salt, turmeric, cayenne, and cardamom in a large bowl. Transfer half of marinade to another large bowl. Add chicken to 1 bowl of marinade; toss to coat. Add eggplant, onion, and tomatoes to the other bowl; toss to coat. Cover and chill at least 1 hour.
• Thread each ingredient onto its own set of skewers: divide chicken among 6 skewers, tomatoes among 4, eggplant among 3, and onion on 1.
• Prepare a grill or grill pan for high heat; generously oil grates. Grill skewers, turning often, until well charred and cooked through, about 5 minutes for tomatoes, 10 minutes for chicken, and 15 minutes for eggplant and onion.
• Just before serving, toast naan on grill until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Top grilled chicken and vegetables with cilantro and serve with naan, lime wedges, and yogurt alongside.
• Do Ahead
• Ingredients can be marinated 1 day ahead; cover and chill. Skewers can be assembled 1 day ahead; cover and chill.

Steps:

• Place all ingredients for the marinade in a non-reactive container or resealable bag.
• Add the chicken cutlets and marinate for 2 to 4 hours.
• Remove chicken from marinade loosely shaking off bits. Cook on indoor grill for 5 minutes until juices from chicken run clear.

Steps:

• In a glass bowl, mix chicken breast cubes with lime juice, lime zest, and grated ginger. Let marinate for about 20 minutes.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk and sugar over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer. Stir in the jasmine rice, reduce heat to low, and cook tightly covered for about 20 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Remove from the heat and fluff rice with a fork; cover, and keep warm.
• In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and marinade. Stir fry until the chicken is nicely browned, about 3 minutes. Drizzle the honey onto the chicken and continue to stir-fry for another minute or so, being careful not to let the honey burn. Remove from the heat and sprinkle with coconut.
• Serve hot with the coconut rice on the side.
