Chilli jam chicken

Chilli jam chicken

An irresistibly saucy dish (originally from the master of Thai cooking, David Thompson) which gets its funky, authentic edge from home-made chilli jam (gluttons for punishment, we are), used both as a marinade for sliced, uncooked, free-range breast fillet, and the base of the sauce with coconut cream, lime leaves and Thai basil. You just need to sear the chicken, pour in the sauce and dish up over coconut rice. 

To Serve

Serve with coconut or steamed jasmine rice. For a quick, green addition to the dish, throw in chopped, steamed Chinese broccoli or bok choy or a handful of baby spinach at the end of cooking time. With more time (and a well-stocked greengrocer) on your hands, a green papaya salad – shredded green papaya dressed with lime juice, fish sauce, garlic, palm sugar and chilli – would make a sensational accompaniment.

 

Ingredients

Free-range chicken breast (46%), coconut cream (coconut kernel extract, water), red capsicum, red onion, rice bran oil, sugar, fish sauce (anchovy extract (fish) 77%, salt, sugar), tamarind paste (tamarind 65%, water), chilli, garlic, dried shrimp (crustacean), Thai basil, salt, kaffir lime leaves

    LOVE this one

    This dish is easy, versatile, and SO delicious. I start by stir-frying two or three types of veg - capsicum, broccolini, sugar snap peas, bok choy, or whatever I've got - then take the veg out of the pan, sear the chicken, add the sauce, add the vegies back, and serve it on rice or noodles with coriander leaves and a squeeze of lime. Occasionally I add a handful of raw prawns near the end of the cooking time and cook until the prawns are just done. The end result has all the complex flavours a good Thai dish should have - salty, sweet, sour, funky - without the effort of making the whole thing from scratch. I would love to see this dish on the permanent menu.

    5 minute cook, better than takeout

    I am obsessed with this dish! It's so tasty, creamy, has the right level of spice - now ordering every week, my only wish is it came in a bigger portion hehe - we use a microwave rice and cook frozen beans to compliment this dish

    Authentic flavours without the fuss!

    This is a delicious dish with whole kaffir lime leaves to give it a real authentic South East Asian flavour. It has capsicum in it already, but I add a large handful of green beans for extra veggie intake and it’s so easy, you just chuck them in the pan with the lid on for a few mins to steam. Beautiful with rice.
