Fremgangsmåde

Trin for trin

1
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat.
Ca. 1 min.
2
Add the chicken breast pieces to the hot pan and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Do not cook through completely.
Ca. 6 min.
Kokkens note: Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan, which can steam the chicken instead of browning it.
3
Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
4
Add the yellow onion to the same pan and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Ca. 3 min.
5
Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Ca. 1 min.
Kokkens note: Be careful not to burn the garlic.
6
Add the red bell pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender-crisp.
Ca. 2 min.
7
Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Ca. 3 min.
8
Return the chicken to the pan. Add the lime juice, fish sauce, salt, and black pepper.
9
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Ca. 11 min.
10
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
11
Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro.
Kokkens note: This dish pairs well with cauliflower rice or steamed vegetables.
