Method
As individual cuts may vary in shape/size, please check that they are cooked and seasoned to your liking, ahead of serving.
| Step 1 3 mins | Put the onion, chilli, ginger, cumin, turmeric, fennel seeds, cloves, cardamom,1/2 teaspoon salt and 150ml of the coconut cream into a small food processor or blender and process until smooth. |
|---|---|
| Step 2 2 mins | Remove mix from the food processor and pour into a bowl. Stir in the remaining coconut cream. |
| Step 3 1 hrs | Make three cuts, about 1 cm deep in the smooth side of each chicken breast. Place the chicken into a seperate bowl and add 1/3 of the coconut mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. |
| Step 4 3 mins | After 1 hour of your chicken marinating, heat a ridged grill or frying pan over moderate heat and add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil. Remove the chicken from the bowl and shake off any excess marinade |
| Step 5 20 mins | Cook the chicken gently for about 10 minutes on each side or until cooked through. You may want to turn the heat to a lower temperature so the chicken doesn't burn before it is cooked in the middle. |
| Step 6 3 mins | While the chicken is cooking, drop the beans into a saucepan of boiling water. Bring back to the boil and boil for a further 2 minutes, then drain. |
| Step 7 4 mins | Bring the remaining reserved coconut mixture to the boil in a saucepan over a moderate heat. Add the lemon juice, taste, and season with salt and pepper. This is your sauce for the chicken. |
| Step 8 2 mins | Serve the chicken and beans together with the sauce spooned over it and some toasted coconut threads and coriander sprigs on top. |
