Recipe makes for 4 Servings

1 1/4 cups thin coconut cream or coconut milk

3 cloves garlic, finely chopped

2 small red chilies, seeded and finely chopped

1 tsp freshly grated ginger

1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves

zest and juice of 1 lime

3 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp fish sauce

1 tbsp palm sugar or brown sugar

4 chicken breast fillets, skin on

1 tbsp vegetable oil

1 bunch bok choy, rinsed and cut in half lengthwise

Directions:

In a food processor or blender, combine coconut cream or milk, garlic, chilies, ginger, cilantro, lime juice and rind, soy sauce, fish sauce and sugar. Process until smooth, about 30 seconds, to make marinade.

Place chicken fillets onto a cutting board and make 3 slits in the skin side of each fillet using a sharp knife. Place chicken into a shallow nonmetallic dish. Pour marinade ingredients over chicken and cover dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 2 hours. Drain chicken, reserving marinade.

Preheat a grill pan or barbecue, then brush grill lightly with oil. Grill chicken until tender, 4-5 minutes each side. Test chicken by piercing the thickest part with a skewer; chicken is cooked if juices run clear. Remove from grill.

Meanwhile, steam or blanch bok choy in a saucepan of boiling water until tender crisp, about 2 minutes. Place reserved marinade ingredients into a small saucepan.


Stir over medium heat and bring to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, remove from heat and set aside. To serve, arrange bok choy on serving plates and top each with a chicken fillets. Drizzle with warm marinade. Serve extra sauce.
