Thai Chicken with Coconut Cream

Thai Chicken with Coconut Cream is a rich and flavourful dish that brings together tender chicken and creamy coconut. It’s full of bold Thai flavours and pairs perfectly with rice or roshi for a comforting meal.

For our recipe, we have used Chaokoh Coconut Cream, provided to us by one of our partners, Day Food. This is a popular, thick and rich ingredient for Asian dishes and desserts. It offers a rich, natural coconut flavour and a creamy consistency to marinades and curries.

Serving size: 2-3

Ingredients:

• 250 g boneless chicken breast
• ½ cup Chaokoh Coconut Cream
• 1 tbsp ginger garlic paste
• ½ tbsp Thai yellow curry paste
• 1 tsp chilli flakes
• 1 tsp finely chopped Thai red chilli
• 1 tsp sugar
• 2 tsp lime juice
• ¼ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp finely chopped coriander (optional)

Instructions:

1. Firstly, cut 250 g boneless chicken breast into 3 pieces that are 2 to 3 inches long and 1 inch thick. Set it aside.
2. Into a large bowl, add ½ cup Chaokoh Coconut Cream, 1 tbsp ginger garlic paste, ½ tbsp Thai yellow curry paste, 1 tsp chilli flakes, 1 tsp finely chopped Thai red chilli, 1 tsp sugar, 2 tsp lime juice, ¼ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp ground black pepper. Mix well using a spoon until the curry paste has been dissolved.
3. Add the cut chicken into the sauce and coat them using a spoon. Cover using food wrap and set it aside in the fridge to marinate for 30 minutes.
4. Pre heat the oven for 10 minutes at 200 degrees Celsius.
5. Line a baking tray (we used an 8x6 inch tray) with aluminium foil. Pour the chicken with the marinade into the tray (add the chicken pieces in first) and bake for 40 minutes or until fully cooked and yellow gold in colour. At the 35-minute mark, using a spoon, scoop the marinade in the tray and add some on top of each chicken piece.
6. Once it is done, remove the tray from the oven and let the chicken rest for 10 minutes. Then top with finely chopped coriander if you have some in your pantry. You can serve this with some rice or roshi. Enjoy!
