First published in Savour by Peter Gordon, published by Jacqui Small (2016). Poaching chicken is easy and as it involves no fat for cooking it is a relatively fast and super healthy way of cooking chicken. Usually, the chicken is covered in water, but in this recipe, we use Coconut milk to infuse its flavour! The low temperature and moist-heat cooking method cooks the chicken gently and prevents it from overcooking too quickly. The cooked chicken is moist and tender, and the coconut milk is great to use in our Pea risotto recipe on page 144 of our Inspired cookbook:
Method
Pre heat oven to 170c or 350f gas mark 4 Pour the coconut milk into a large saucepan, then rinse the can out with the same volume of water and add to the pan. Add the ginger, chilli, lime zest, fish sauce and bring to the boil. Put the lid on the pan and simmer for 10 minutes. Bring back up to the boil and Place the chicken breasts into the pan, skin side down then reduce to a simmer and cook with the lid on for 8 minutes. Carefully turn over the chicken and cook for a further 3 minutes. Turn off the heat and leave to cool in the liquid for 20 minutes Meanwhile make the croutons. Lay the sliced bread on a baking sheet and brush lightly with oil. Bake until they begin to crisp up and go golden brown. Turn-over and bake for another 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave to cool. Remove the chicken from the pan and place on a tray to cool. Before serving peel off the skin and slice the fillets at an angle into 1/4inch slices Using tongs, dip the spinach into the cooled coconut milk and arrange on a serving platter. Place the sliced melon on top, then the poached chicken, followed by the prosciutto and the croutons SAVE THE COCONUT MILK! Comments are closed.
