Coconut-Lime Chicken Stew with Rice

By

This stew can be stretched to last a few meals. If, on reheating, it remains too thick, add a splash of stock or water to loosen to the desired consistency. A simple salad of shredded romaine lettuce tossed with cider vinegar and oil makes a refreshing accompaniment.

Preparation

Step 1



1 In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat, add chicken breasts and cook until well browned on both sides, about 15 minutes. Remove and set aside; the chicken does not need to be cooked through at this point.

2 To the same pot add onions, red pepper, garlic, ginger and chili flakes; sauté over medium heat until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.

3 To the pot add the browned chicken, sweet potato, salt and water. Bring to the boil, then lower heat, cover and simmer until potatoes are tender and chicken is cooked through.

4 Remove chicken and let cool enough to handle. While chicken is cooling add coconut milk, 2 cups (500 mL) water and rice. Cook until rice is done, about 20 minutes.

5 Coarsely chop or shred chicken and add to pot along with cilantro, peas, zest and juice. Serve.
