Thai Salad With Coconut Chicken Recipes

THAI SALAD OF COCONUT CHICKEN, LIME, BASIL, AND GLASS NOODLES

Steps:

• Bring coconut milk, half of the lemongrass, and 1 tablespoon fish sauce almost to a boil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add chicken. Reduce to a simmer, and cook, flipping chicken once, until it is cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes per side. Remove from heat. Transfer chicken to a cutting board, and cut crosswise into thin slices. Return chicken to coconut milk mixture; cover, and set aside.
• Soak noodles in boiling water according to package instructions, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain. Set aside.
• Stir together lime zest and juice, sugar, shallots, chiles, basil, and lime leaves in a medium bowl. Add noodles, and toss to combine. Divide noodle mixture among 6 serving bowls. Using a slotted spoon, remove chicken, and evenly divide among bowls. Drizzle each bowl with some coconut milk sauce.

THAI SALAD WITH COCONUT CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix everything but the chicken together.
• Cut the chicken breasts in half horizontally, and then pound them to an even thickness of about half an inch thick. Place them in the marinade, and let them sit while you heat the grill pan.
• Grill the chicken on a hot grill pan, with a little bit of olive oil. Use medium heat, and cook the breast pieces, a few at a time until they're cooked through. Let them chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the rest of the salad.
• Chop the chicken into bite sized pieces before tossing them with the rest of the salad ingredients.
• In a small jar, shake all the ingredients together.
• Toss all the vegetables, chicken, and peanuts in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over everything and toss until everything is well coated with the dressing.
