Creamy coconut & lime weeknight chicken

Ingredients:
  • For chicken - 4 tbsp plain flour, 1 tsp garlic powder and salt & pepper
  • 2 tbsp SPAR Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 6-8 Inishella chicken thighs
  • 4cm piece of ginger, peeled and grated
  • 2 cloves of garlic, peeled and grated
  • 100ml chicken stock
  • 1x400ml tin of full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 lime
  • Boiled Rice
  • To serve - Fresh coriander or parsley, roughly chopped, 1 lime (sliced into thin rounds)
Method:
  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas mark 6.
  2. Mix the flour, garlic powder, salt and pepper together in a small bowl. Dip each chicken thigh into the mixture to coat and set aside.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe pan or skillet over medium heat.
  4. Sear the chicken thighs for roughly 3 minutes per side, until golden.
  5. Add the grated ginger and garlic, and cook for roughly one minute, stirring as you do so.
  6. Add the chicken stock, followed by the coconut milk and stir, taking care not to toss the chicken thighs too much.
  7. Grate the zest of one lime over the dish, place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
  8. Remove from oven and squeeze the juice of one lime over the top of the dish.
  9. Garnish with fresh coriander or parsley and slices of lime, and serve alongside boiled rice.
