Ginger Lime Chicken With Coconut Rice Recipes

COCONUT CHICKEN AND RICE

Steps:

• Combine 1 cup of the coconut milk, the lime zest, half of the garlic, the grated ginger, brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Cover and let marinate 8 hours or overnight.
• Preheat a grill to medium high. Remove the chicken from the marinade and season lightly with salt.
• Heat the coconut oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the remaining garlic and the chopped ginger. Cook, stirring, until softened but not browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the rice; cook, stirring, until slightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the remaining coconut milk, 1 1/4 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer, then stir and reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, brush the grill with coconut oil. Grill the chicken until well marked and cooked through, about 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Transfer to a plate and loosely cover.
• Fluff the rice with a fork. Add the broccoli, toasted coconut and scallions to the pan; toss to combine. Let sit to slightly cook the broccoli, about 2 minutes. Divide the chicken and rice among plates. Serve with lime wedges.

GINGER-LIME CHICKEN WITH RICE NOODLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400˚ F. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Stir the lime juice, fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar and ginger in a small bowl until the sugar is dissolved. Toss the chicken with 2 tablespoons of the sauce and the grated garlic; season with salt and pepper. Let marinate 10 minutes.
• Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the chicken dry. Add to the skillet and cook until browned, 3 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet and bake until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. (Reserve the skillet.) Let the chicken rest 5 minutes, then slice.
• Meanwhile, add the noodles to the boiling water and cook as the label directs. Drain in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse under cold water. Shake off any excess water.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in the reserved skillet over medium-high heat. Add the snow peas, chopped garlic and a big pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until the snow peas are bright green, 1 minute. Add the noodles and stir until hot, 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; stir in half the cilantro.
• Divide the noodles and chicken among plates. Drizzle with the remaining sauce and top with the remaining cilantro.

COCONUT GINGER LIME CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place all ingredients for the marinade in a non-reactive container or resealable bag.
• Add the chicken cutlets and marinate for 2 to 4 hours.
• Remove chicken from marinade loosely shaking off bits. Cook on indoor grill for 5 minutes until juices from chicken run clear.

ONE-POT CHICKEN AND RICE WITH GINGER

Steps:

• In a large Dutch oven or pot with a lid, heat the oil and ginger slices over medium-high until the oil around the ginger starts to sizzle, 1 to 2 minutes. Season the chicken with salt, then push the ginger to the side. Add the chicken to the pan and let cook, undisturbed, until the chicken starts to brown and easily releases from the pan, 5 to 7 minutes. (It's OK if the pieces of chicken don't all have color, as it will be crowded.) Stir in the garlic and rice, flipping over the chicken, and cook until the rice is coated with oil and starts to sizzle, about 1 minute.
• Add the stock or water, then raise the heat to high to bring to a boil, stirring to scrape up anything on the bottom of the pot. Cover and immediately lower the heat to maintain a simmer. Cook until most of the water has been absorbed and the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes. During the last 8 minutes, stir to make sure nothing is sticking on the bottom, then layer the greens on top, cover and finish cooking.
• Remove from the heat, stir in the soy sauce and juice of 1 lime. Fluff the rice and let sit for 5 minutes, covered. Serve as is, or pull the chicken apart into bite-size pieces. Season to taste with salt, the lime wedges and more soy as needed or serve at the table. Top with the scallions and cilantro, if using.

GINGER-LIME CHICKEN

Steps:

• Pat the chicken dry and season all over with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. In a medium bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, lime zest and ginger; season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the mayonnaise mixture and stir to coat. (The chicken can sit in the marinade for up to 8 hours in the fridge. Let come to room temperature before cooking.)
• To grill: Heat a grill to medium-high. Grill the chicken over direct heat until cooked through and juices run clear, about 5 minutes per side for thighs and about 4 minutes per side for breasts, turning as necessary to avoid burning.
• To cook in a skillet: Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Cook the chicken until juices run clear, about 5 minutes per side for thighs and about 4 minutes per side for breasts.
• Serve chicken with lime wedges, for squeezing on top.

SPICED COCONUT CHICKEN WITH CORIANDER & LIME

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat the oil in a 30cm shallow casserole dish or high-sided frying pan. Fry the chicken thighs, skin-side down, just to get some colour on them (they will take on a deeper colour in the oven). Transfer them to another dish. Fry the onion in the pan until soft and pale gold. Add the garlic, spices and chillies. Cook for 2 mins more, then stir in the squash, cauliflower, rice, half the coriander, the lime zest, half the lime juice, the lime leaves and some seasoning. Put the chicken back in the pan, this time skin-side up, and season that as well.
• Heat the coconut milk and the chicken stock together until just below boiling point. Pour this around the chicken and put the pan in the oven, uncovered. Cook for 40 mins, or until the chicken is cooked through and the liquid has been absorbed by the rice. Squeeze over the remaining lime and scatter with the rest of the coriander. You could gently push the coriander into the rice, so it's not all on top. Serve immediately.

COCONUT-LIME CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, bring the rice, water, coconut milk, sugar and salt to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender., Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the lime juice, soy sauce, lime zest, ginger, vinegar and honey; set aside. In a large skillet, saute chicken in canola and sesame oils until no longer pink. Add lime mixture to the pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Sprinkle with coconut and cilantro. Fluff rice with a fork and serve with chicken mixture.

STICKY COCONUT CHICKEN AND RICE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Rub chicken with 1 tablespoon of oil, and season with 1 teaspoon of salt and ¼ teaspoon of pepper.
• In a large Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium. Working in two batches, brown chicken, turning halfway, until no longer pink, around 5 minutes per batch. Transfer to a plate.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, the ginger and the garlic to the empty pot, and stir until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add rice and stir until evenly coated in the oil. Add broth, coconut milk, bell pepper, cashews, scallions and the remaining 1 teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Stir to lift up any browned bits on the bottom of the pot. Arrange chicken on top, add any accumulated juices from the plate and bring to a boil over high.
• Cover and bake until all of the liquid is absorbed, rice is tender and chicken is cooked through, 25 minutes. Scatter cilantro over the chicken and rice, then divide among bowls. Serve with hot sauce.
