happy fathers day....

here is a good recipe that i tried today to celebrate fathers day... for brent... who will someday be a father...

chili coconut chicken...

• 2/3 cup hot chicken stock (broth)
• 1/3 cup coconut milk
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 4-6 boneless chicken breast, cut into small strips
• 1 small red chili, sliced thinly (i used crushed red pepper, b/c i didnt have a red chili)
• 4 spring onions (scallions), sliced thinly (i used a red onion b/c i didnt have scallions)
• 4 tbsp creamy or chunky peanut butter
• finely grated rind and juice of 1 lime
• boiled rice to serve (i boiled the rice with half water, half coconut milk to give it a hint of coconut flavor, after it was cooked i added kidney beans)

1. mix together chicken stock and coconut milk
2. heat oil in a wok or large heavy frying pan, and cook the chicken strips, stirring until golden
3. add sliced red chili and scallions to the pan, cook gently for a few minutes, stirring to mix all ingredients
4. add peanut butter, coconut cream, lime rind and juice and simmer uncovered, stirring, for about 5 minutes
5. serve with boiled rice

so easy, so good....
