recipes: Lemon chicken

Ingredients: coconut milk 0,4 L., chicken breast 400 gr, 1 lemon, 1 lime,
             2 red chili peppers, lemongrass 2 stalks, 3 lime leaves,
             spring onion 1, light soy sauce 1 tbsp, turmeric 2 tsp,
             white sugar 1 tbsp, pineapple 300 gr, butter 2 tbsp.,
             fish sauce 1 or 2 tbsp., chili peppers 2
Mix coconut milk, juice of half a lemon, juice of half a lime, sugar, turmeric, sliced chili pepper and soy sauce in a cooking pot and bring slowly to the boil. Add lemongrass. Slice the chicken in to medium sized parts and add to the mixture. Let it simmer. Add fishsauce to taste.
Meanwhile cut up the Pineapple (you can use canned), heat the butter in a frying pan. Fry the pineapple until golden brown.
Add the zest of the lemon and lime to coconut mixture. Taste and add more lime or lemon juice if necessary. I add 1 tbsp fish sauce as well. When the chicken is ready, serve it and dress with the pineapple, spring onion and sliced chili peppers.
I serve this one with white rice.

  1. This is superb. One of the best dishes I have tasted, no exaggeration. Rich, creamy, a little sour with a mild spice kick to it. Stupendous.
