Coconut and coriander chicken with corn and cucumber salad
An easy Thai-style chicken and coconut salad that only takes 30 minutes to make.
The secret to this Thai-style chicken and coconut salad is the quick-mix marinade, which combines soy sauce with coconut milk and coriander. It’s not only great on chicken but with seafood and pork, too. Coconut sugar adds the perfect amount of caramelisation without too much sweetness.
Ingredients
⅓ cup coconut milk
2 tbsp coconut sugar
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp ground coriander
4 x 200g chicken breasts
4 corn cobs, husks removed
Juice of 1 lime
1 small green chilli, thinly sliced, plus extra to serve
250g baby cucumbers, quartered
1 bunch coriander, roughly chopped
2 cups mesclun salad mix
Method
Step 1
Combine the coconut milk, coconut sugar, soy sauce and ground coriander in a large, shallow bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Set half of the marinade aside in a small bowl. Add the chicken to the remaining marinade, turn to coat and set aside for 10 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, preheat a lightly greased chargrill or barbecue over medium-high heat. Add the corn and cook for 8 minutes, turning occasionally until charred. Set aside. Slice.
Step 3
Add the chicken and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning halfway, until charred and cooked through. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
Step 4
For the dressing, add lime juice and chilli to the reserved coconut mixture and mix.
Step 5
Cut the kernels off the corn. Place in a bowl with cucumber, coriander and lettuce.
Step 6
Serve the chicken with salad and dressing.
