Coconut Chicken with Lime and Coriander

Step-by-step method

Let’s cook

At a glance

You're searing chicken in coconut oil, then building rich flavors by sautéing shallots and chillies before simmering everything in coconut milk with lime and ginger for about ten minutes. The whole process takes less than 30 minutes, and the trickiest part is keeping the chicken tender while you simmer it in the creamy, fragrant sauce.

  1. 1/4

    Chicken breasts

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then sear on both sides in coconut oil until golden. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

About this recipe

You can make this dish with chicken or beef, fish or shrimp – it works beautifully with all of them. We added a bit of extra shallot and lime, and went with chicken. For a side, I chose jasmine rice, though various noodles would be excellent too.
