lime coconut chicken

our main grocery store, waitrose, puts out different recipe cards every month. i've picked up several, but i've never attempted a recipe. i changed that last night and made a delicious thai dish with coconut milk and lime. thank you, waitrose!



here's the recipe:

400g chicken breast meat, cut into bite-sized chunks
juice and zest of two limes
160ml of coconut gream
1 tsp light oil
1 green chili pepper, finely chopped (and seeds removed)
3/4 TBLS nam pla fish sauce
20g chopped coriander 
4 spring onions, cut into 2.5cm shreds

- marinate the chicken chunks in the lime juice and zest for at least an hour (reserve marinate when finished)
- stir-fry chicken chunks in the oil on high heat until golden, about 3 minutes
- add the green chili and stir-fry for one more minute
- add lime marinade, coconut cream, fish sauce, and half of the coriander and spring onions, stir-fry for a couple more minutes
- serve over rice with the rest of the coriander and spring onions as garnish.
