•Pot with Lid
Instructions
1
- Pour 300ml cold salted water (double for 4p) into a medium pot with a tight-fitting lid.
- Stir in the rice and bring to the boil.
- Once boiling, lower the heat to medium, cover, and cook for 10 mins.
- Once cooked, remove from the heat.
- Keep covered for 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).
2
- Halve, peel and chop onion into small pieces.
- Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, add the chicken and half the onion. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Fry until chicken is golden brown, 6-8 mins.
TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging used to keep it fresh.
3
- Meanwhile, halve the chilli and discard the core and seeds. Finely chop.
- When the chicken is browned, add the chilli (use less if you don't like spice) and Thai spice. Fry until fragrant, 1 min.
- Add the peanut butter, coconut milk and 100ml water (double for 4p).
- Mix well and simmer until the sauce has thickened slightly, 4-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
4
- While the sauce simmers, zest and quarter the lime.
- Stir the lime zest into the creamy peanut chicken.
- Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all).
- Cut the tomato into 2cm chunks.
5
- In a medium bowl mix the tomato and remaining chopped onion.
- Season to taste with salt, pepper and juice of two lime wedges (double for 4p).
- Stir together to combine.
6
- Loosen the sauce with a splash of water if you feel it is too thick.
- Serve the creamy peanut chicken with the salad and rice alongside.
- Top with chopped coriander and any remaining lime wedges.
