ONE-POT BRAISED CHICKEN WITH COCONUT MILK, TOMATO AND GINGER



One-Pot Braised Chicken With Coconut Milk, Tomato and Ginger image

Bone-in chicken thighs are a favorite go-to for weeknight meals, as they cook relatively quickly, are versatile and impart a lot of flavor in a short amount of time. Here, they are browned, then braised in a fragrant tomato-coconut broth flecked with ginger, garlic, cumin and cinnamon. The result is a rich, stew-like dish, which works nicely served over white rice. By cooking the rice as the chicken finishes braising, you can get everything on the table at the same time. A good squeeze of lime is not required, but it does give the dish a bright finish. Serve any remaining sauce at the table, with crusty bread for sopping.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 to 2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, at room temperature
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons grapeseed or canola oil
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 (2-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 (14-ounce) can cherry or diced tomatoes with their juices
1 (13-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
Steamed white rice, for serving (optional)
3 tablespoons roughly chopped cilantro
1 lime, quartered, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Pat chicken thighs dry and season with salt and pepper. In a deep 12-inch skillet, heat the oil over medium-high. When the oil shimmers, add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and cook, undisturbed, until nicely browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip and brown the other side, 4 to 5 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • Turn heat to medium-low, add the onion and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, cumin, cinnamon and red-pepper flakes, and cook until the garlic and the spices are fragrant, about 1 minute. Season with salt.
  • Add the tomatoes with their juices and the coconut milk, and stir until combined, scraping up any brown bits that have formed at the bottom of the pan. Nestle the chicken back into the skillet along with any juices that have accumulated. Simmer, uncovered, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly, 15 to 20 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Divide the rice, if using, among bowls and plate the chicken on top, spooning additional sauce over it. Scatter with cilantro and a squeeze of lime, if you like.

Categories     dinner, quick, main course

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 black cardamom pods (see note)
1/2 cup white poppy seeds (see note)
1 28-ounce can whole tomatoes in juice
12 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
2 teaspoons almond oil
Salt and pepper
2 medium onions, minced
4 cloves garlic, pressed
4 teaspoons minced ginger
2 tablespoons minced hot green chilies
1 1/4 teaspoons garam masala
1 teaspoon tomato paste
14 ounces unsweetened coconut milk
14 ounces chicken broth
2 tablespoons cilantro leaves, julienned

Steps:

  • Break cardamom pods open, and knock out small black seeds. Discard pods. In clean spice grinder, process cardamom and poppy seeds to fine meal. Transfer to bowl, fluff and separate any small clumps with fingertips. Set aside.
  • Drain tomatoes, reserving 1/4 cup juice. Seed tomatoes, and julienne. Set aside.
  • Dry chicken thighs on paper towel. Heat almond oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet. Add chicken, and cook until well browned, turning once. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • In same skillet, saute onions over medium heat until brown, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes. Stir in ground seeds, garlic, ginger, chilies, garam masala, tomato paste and reserved juice, and saute, stirring frequently until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  • Add coconut milk, chicken broth and tomatoes to pan, and bring to simmer. Return chicken thighs to sauce, cover, reduce heat to low and simmer until chicken is tender, about 15 minutes. Put chicken on warm platter, turn heat to high, and simmer sauce, stirring often, until it will coat the back of a spoon, 5 to 7 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon salt or more. Stir cilantro into sauce; spoon sauce over chicken. Serve with basmati rice and, if desired, wedges of lime.

COCONUT-BRAISED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH TURMERIC AND PEPPERS



Coconut-Braised Chicken Thighs With Turmeric and Peppers image

Coriander, lemongrass, ginger, garlic, turmeric and coconut milk create layers of complex flavor in this braised chicken dish that's lighter than many traditional curries. Available at Thai supermarkets and other specialty food stores, fresh makrut lime leaves are optional, but perk things up. Any leftover lime leaves - sublime when sautéed with butter and seafood, sliced very thinly and sprinkled as a garnish, or simmered into simple syrup for cocktails - can be stashed in your freezer, where they'll keep for months.

Categories     dinner, curries, poultry, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons coconut oil or neutral oil
2 teaspoons ground coriander
Kosher salt and black pepper
6 bone-in, skin-on thighs or 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken legs (about 2 1/4 pounds total)
4 scallions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh lemongrass (cut from the tender centers of 2 stalks)
1 (2-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped (about 3 tablespoons)
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons ground turmeric
4 fresh makrut lime leaves (optional)
1 cup chicken stock
1 (14-ounce) can light coconut milk
5 ounces mini sweet peppers (about 7 peppers), trimmed and thinly sliced (or 1 bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and chopped)
Fresh cilantro (small sprigs and chopped leaves) or basil (sliced), for serving
Cooked jasmine rice, rice noodles or fresh ramen noodles, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large, deep skillet, heat the oil over medium. In a small bowl, combine the coriander with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Pat the chicken dry using paper towels, then rub the seasoning all over the chicken. Add the chicken to the skillet, skin-side down, and cook until starting to heat through on one side, 10 minutes. Raise the heat to medium-high and continue to cook, without flipping, until skin is well browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate, browned-side up.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the scallions, lemongrass, ginger, garlic, turmeric and lime leaves, if using, and cook, stirring frequently, until tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Stir in the stock and coconut milk and bring to a boil over high. Add the chicken, browned-side up, and cook over medium-low until cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes for thighs or 30 to 35 minutes for legs. (Chicken is cooked through when a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165 degrees, or the juices run clear without a trace of pink when chicken is pierced with a knife.)
  • Transfer the chicken to a plate, browned-side up. Whisk the sauce in the skillet to emulsify, season to taste with salt and pepper, then add the sliced peppers and cook over medium just until slightly softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Return the chicken to the skillet, browned-side up, and add a few small sprigs cilantro on top of the sauce, for garnish.
  • Serve with rice or noodles, and pass bowls of cilantro at the table, for seasoning to taste.

Boneless Chicken Breast with Tomatoes, Coconut Milk, and Chickpeas in the Slow Cooker image

This is a super easy slow cooker dish I make when I don't have much time for prep as everything just goes in the slow cooker without any previous cooking and I serve it over rice. It is not spicy because otherwise my kids won't eat it, so feel free to spice it up to your liking.

COCONUT MILK-BRAISED CHICKEN



Coconut Milk-Braised Chicken image

No searing, no chopping, one baking dish. Just throw some chicken legs and aromatics in a roasting pan for fragrant fall-off-the-bone meat. After about an hour in the oven, the chicken becomes supple and shreddable, perfect for dragging through the rich coconut sauce and eating with fluffy rice or warm flatbread.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (13.5-oz.) can unsweetened coconut milk
2 Tbsp. Thai curry paste
2 lemongrass stalks, tough outer layers removed, lightly crushed
1 (2") piece ginger, peeled, smashed
6 garlic cloves, smashed
4 chicken legs (thigh and drumstick; about 3 lb. total)
Kosher salt
Toasted unsweetened coconut flakes, cilantro leaves with tender stems, cooked rice, and lime wedges (for serving)

Steps:

  • Place a rack in top third of oven; preheat to 400°F. Stir coconut milk and curry paste in a 3-qt. baking dish to combine (or, use a medium skillet if that's what you've got). Add lemongrass, ginger, and garlic.
  • Season chicken with salt (hold back a bit since curry pastes often have a lot of salt). Place in baking dish and spoon some liquid over. Bake, occasionally spooning liquid over, until chicken is browned, tender, and cooked throughout (the joint should be reasonably easy to flex), 60-75 minutes.
  • Transfer chicken and sauce to a platter. Top with coconut flakes and cilantro. Serve with rice and lime wedges alongside.

COCONUT MILK-SIMMERED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH VEGETABLES



Coconut Milk-Simmered Chicken Breasts With Vegetables image

This fast but fabulous chicken dish pairs Thai-inspired flavors with French technique. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts have weeknight appeal, largely because they cook so quickly, but that also means they can dry out and become tough if you're not careful. Here, the chicken is gently cooked for about 10 minutes, then simmered in a ginger-scented coconut sauce studded with green beans and corn, resulting in tender and juicy chicken. Slicing the breasts before serving allows the sauce to coat each piece, adding more moisture and flavor. If you want more heat, sprinkle thinly sliced serrano chile over the top before serving. The best part is the entire meal comes together in about a half-hour: If you're quick, you can get all the vegetable prep done while the chicken cooks.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6 to 8 ounces each)
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons neutral oil, such as vegetable, canola or grapeseed oil
1 large shallot, peeled and thinly sliced into rings
1 large or 2 small garlic cloves, finely grated
1 (2-inch) piece fresh ginger, finely grated (about 1 1/2 tablespoons)
1 small serrano chile or jalapeño, finely chopped, or more to taste
1/2 cup chicken stock
1 (14-ounce) can unsweetened, full-fat coconut milk
6 ounces green beans, trimmed and halved crosswise
1 ear fresh corn, kernels removed, or 1 cup frozen corn kernels
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnish
2 limes (1 zested and juiced; 1 cut into wedges)
Fish sauce (optional)
Jasmine rice, for serving
16 Sungold or other cherry tomatoes

Steps:

  • Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt. In a large (12-inch) lidded skillet, heat the oil over medium-low. Add the chicken, turn to coat with the oil, cover and cook until the thickest part feels springy to the touch, 4 to 5 minutes per side. (For best results, try not to let the chicken brown, and do not overcook; you'll be cooking it more later.) Set the chicken aside on a warm plate, leaving any liquid in the skillet, and cover the chicken with foil.
  • Heat the skillet over medium. Add shallot and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic, ginger and chile, and cook for 1 minute. Add stock, raise heat to high and cook, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon, until thick and syrupy, about 1 minute.
  • Add the coconut milk and 1/2 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil. Stir in green beans and corn, and lower heat to medium-high for a steady simmer. Cover and cook until beans are crisp-tender but still bright, and coconut milk is slightly reduced, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add chopped cilantro and grated zest of the lime (saving a bit for the top), then season to taste with fish sauce, if using, and salt. Return chicken to the sauce, turning to coat, cover and cook until warmed and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of the lime juice.
  • Slice each chicken breast. Serve over jasmine rice, then spoon the vegetables and sauce on top. Sprinkle with remaining lime zest, and garnish with tomatoes and cilantro leaves. Serve with lime wedges.

This is one of the first recipes I made as a young bride. 20 years later I still serve this from time to time. It is simple and quick to prepare - which is a plus on busy nights.
