Creamy Coconut Lime Chicken
  1. Horizontally slice each chicken breast right through the centre to create 4 even-sized breasts. Combine the flour and seasoning in a large shallow dish, then one by one coat the breasts in the flour and place to one side.

  2. Add the oil to a large pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and fry both sides for a few minutes, or until golden and just about cooked through the centre. Remove and place on a plate to one side. Lower the heat to medium.

  3. Top up with oil if needed, then fry the shallots until soft and starting to turn golden. Add the garlic, ginger and chilli flakes and fry for another minute.

  4. Pour in the stock then stir in the coconut cream (you might find this easiest with a whisk). Stir in the soy sauce then stir in the lime juice. Simmer until the sauce thickens, then stir in the resting juices from the chicken (the flavour develops as the sauce thickens so don't leave it watery). Check for spice, seasoning and lime and adjust if needed.

  5. Add the chicken back in a baste in the sauce for a minute or so to warm it through. Serve with coriander sprinkled on top and enjoy!
