Coconut and lime chicken

I have really learned to love low fat coconut milk, and trying to find new ways of using it I made a wonderful indian flare chicken recipe.

I did not make this a weight loss meal since I have used white rice and nan bread, however using low fat cream and low fat coconut milk I have reduced the fat content. If you choose to you can use whole cream and regular coconut milk but I personally do not think it is necessary.

This is about a 30min meal, very easy :)

Recipe makes for 4 servings

3 chicken breasts(diced)
3-4 garlic cloves (minced)
1 tablespoon chopped ginger
1 green chili pepper with seeds
2 teaspoons garam masala spices
about 2 pinches of salt
1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
juice of 2 limes

1 chicken bouillon
2-2 1/2 dl low fat cream
1 can low fat coconut milk
1 bunt of cilantro(koriander)




 Chop up garlic, ginger, and chili pepper and blend with oil, lime and seasoning. Dice up chicken and blend together with marinade. Let it marinade for a few minutes while you make the rice, if serving nan bread heat the oven to the required heat.
 In a wok pan fry the chicken in marinade on high heat till cooked thru. If serving nan bread you want to put this in the oven now.
 Add the coconut milk, cream, chicken bouillon and cilantro and let simmer till soup becomes thicker and ready to serve.
Serve with simple fried rice, salad with cucumber and perhaps some nan bread.


Bon Appetit!!
