Ingredients

2 cups mint leaves
2 cups Thai basil (see Note)
2 cups coriander leaves
½ banana blossom (see Note), thinly sliced and placed in acidulated water (see Note)
3 spring onions, thinly sliced
10 g (¼ cup) toasted coconut flakes
¼ cup fried Asian red eschalots (see Note)
2 long red chillies, thinly sliced

Coconut chicken

375 ml (1½ cups) coconut cream
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp fish sauce
1 lemongrass stalk, white part only, roughly chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 long red chilli, roughly chopped
1 lime, zested, juiced
2 skinless chicken breast fillets

Dressing

150 g palm sugar, chopped
2 tbsp ginger, shredded
½ red chilli, finely chopped
2 limes, zested, juiced
2 tbsp fish sauce
2 tbsp chopped coriander leaves

Cook's notes

Oven temperatures are for conventional; if using fan-forced (convection), reduce the temperature by 20˚C. | We use Australian tablespoons and cups: 1 teaspoon equals 5 ml; 1 tablespoon equals 20 ml; 1 cup equals 250 ml. | All herbs are fresh (unless specified) and cups are lightly packed. | All vegetables are medium size and peeled, unless specified. | All eggs are 55-60 g, unless specified.

Instructions

As soon as you slice into a banana blossom, you will need to place it in a bowl of acidulated water to prevent it from going brown.

To make coconut chicken, place coconut cream, sugar, fish sauce, lemongrass, garlic, chilli, lime zest and juice and 375 ml water in a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add chicken, cover and simmer for 5 minutes, then turn off the heat and leave chicken to poach for 25 minutes or until cooked through. Remove from poaching liquid and cool completely.

Meanwhile, to make dressing, place palm sugar, 80 ml water, ginger, chilli, lime juice and zest in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir to dissolve sugar, then simmer for 5 minutes or until slightly sticky and reduced. Cool completely, then stir in fish sauce and coriander.

Shred chicken into a bowl, then add mint, basil, coriander, drained banana blossom and spring onions, tossing to combine. Arrange on a serving plate and scatter with coconut, fried eschalots and chilli. Drizzle over dressing to serve.

Note

• Thai basil, banana blossoms and fried Asian red eschalots are available from select Asian food shops.

• To stop fresh-cut fruit and vegetables discolouring, submerge in acidulated water. Add 1 tsp lemon or lime juice, vinegar or white wine to 250 ml (1 cup) water.

EPISODE: Cook Like a Pro

Total Time: 1 hr
Prep: 15 min
Inactive: 10 min
Cook: 35 min

Yield: 4 servings
Level: Easy

Ingredients

1/4 cup good olive oil
3 tablespoons minced garlic (9 cloves)
1/3 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest (2 lemons)
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 boneless chicken breasts, skin on (6 to 8 ounces each)
1 lemon

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Warm the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, add the garlic, and cook for just 1 minute but don't allow the garlic to turn brown. Off the heat, add the white wine, lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, and 1 teaspoon salt and pour into a 9 by 12-inch baking dish.

Pat the chicken breasts dry and place them skin side up over the sauce. Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and sprinkle them liberally with salt and pepper. Cut the lemon in 8 wedges and tuck it among the pieces of chicken.

Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken breasts, until the chicken is done and the skin is lightly browned. If the chicken isn't browned enough, put it under the broiler for 2 minutes. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and serve hot with the pan juices.

Takes: 12 mins to prepare and 18 mins to cook
Serves: 4

Andy Water’s Thai chicken soup in a cup is a simple fun recipe with a colourful twist.

Ingredients

2 skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
2tbsp rapeseed oil
1tbsp Thai green curry paste
15g fresh ginger, chopped into small matchsticks
350ml light coconut milk
450ml chicken stock
1tbsp fish sauce
150g egg noodles
100g green beans
1 large carrot, cut into matchsticks
25g fresh coriander, chopped
6 spring onions, thinly sliced
1 red chilli, deseeded and thinly chopped
1 lime, cut into 4 wedges

Heat the rapeseed oil in a pan. Once hot, add the Thai green curry paste. Cook gently for 1 minute, then add the chopped ginger.

Gently pour in the coconut milk, chicken stock and fish sauce. Bring to the boil and then turn down the heat, simmer for a minute.

Add the chicken, bring to the boil and then turn down the heat again and simmer for 10 minutes.

Add the green beans and carrots to the soup and simmer for a further 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a separate pan, pour enough boiling water over the dry noodles to cover. Bring to the boil and heat until the noodles are tender and cooked, approximately 2 minutes.

Add the coriander and spring onions to the soup.

Drain the noodles and divide between 4 cups - let the kids choose their favourite cups to serve the soup in, the more colourful the better!

Carefully pour the soup over the noodles. Sprinkle the chopped chilli on top and serve with wedges of lime – go light with the chilli, especially if the kids are doing the sprinkling and make sure everyone washes their hands thoroughly immediately afterwards!

4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

1/4 cup all-purpose flour (about 1 ounce) 

1/4 teaspoon salt

The Chicken Recipes Kitchen (The home of delicious chicken recipes) invites you to try Hot Chicken and Chips Retro Recipe. Enjoy quick and easy chicken recipes and learn how to make Hot Chicken and Chips Retro.

This recipe has a nostalgic appeal that harks back to the 1950s and ’60s. If you make it ahead, don’t add the potato chips until it’s time to bake the casserole, or they’ll become soggy.

To crush baked potato chips for the casserole topping, place the chips in a large zip-top plastic bag. With a meat mallet or rolling pin, crush the chips by lightly pounding or rolling until you achieve the desired size and texture. This method makes cleanup a breeze and keeps crumbs in the bag.

Yield: 6 servings 

Ingredients

4 cups chopped roasted skinless, boneless chicken breast (about 4 breasts)
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 (8-ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, drained and chopped
1/2 cup low-fat mayonnaise
1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Cooking spray
3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded Swiss cheese
3/4 cup crushed baked potato chips (about 2 ounces)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400°.

Combine chicken and next 4 ingredients (through water chestnuts) in a large bowl; stir well. Combine low-fat mayonnaise and next 5 ingredients (through black pepper) in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add mayonnaise mixture to chicken mixture; stir well to combine. Spoon chicken mixture into an 11 x 7-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray, and sprinkle with cheese. Top cheese evenly with chips. Bake at 400° for 13 minutes or until filling is bubbly and chips are golden.
