Servings4
1 brown or yellow onion
5 g ginger
6 cloves garlic
1 long red chili (optional)
4 large tomatoes
1 lime
3 small chicken breasts
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
salt
cracked black pepper
200 g jasmine rice
350 ml cold water
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon concentrated tomato paste
1 can (400 ml) coconut milk
sugar (to taste)
coriander or cilantro (for garnish)
1

Slice 1 brown or yellow onion into thin slices, then dice into small to medium pieces.

2

Peel 5 g of ginger with a spoon and grate it.

3

Grate 6 cloves of garlic on a microplane and mix with the ginger.

4

(Optional) Take 1 long red chili, slice in half lengthways, remove pith and seeds if desired, and dice into small pieces.

5

Cut 4 large tomatoes into strips, then dice into medium to large pieces.

6

Slice 1 lime into wedges and set aside.

7

Butterfly 3 small chicken breasts and slice into two even fillets.

8

In a bowl, combine the chicken with 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon sweet paprika, salt, and cracked black pepper (15 cracks worth). Mix to coat the chicken.

9

In a saucepan, add 200 g of washed jasmine rice, 350 ml of cold water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and cook for 12 minutes undisturbed.

10

In a large pan over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken and sear for 2 to 2.5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pan.

11

Add another 1 teaspoon of olive oil to the pan, then add the diced onions with a pinch of salt. Sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until slightly caramelized.

12

Add the garlic and ginger paste along with the diced chili (if using) and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

13

Add all the chopped tomatoes and 1.5 tablespoons of concentrated tomato paste. Season with salt and cracked black pepper (10 cracks worth) and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until the tomatoes break down.

14

Add 1 can (400 ml) of coconut milk and stir to combine. Adjust seasoning with salt, cracked black pepper, and sugar if needed. Bring to a simmer.

15

Return the chicken to the pan, including any resting juices, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the chicken is cooked through, flipping occasionally.

16

After 12 minutes, turn off the heat for the rice and let it sit covered for an additional 4 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork or spatula.

17

Check the chicken for seasoning and adjust if necessary. Turn off the heat.

18

Serve the chicken with chopped coriander or cilantro on top, squeeze lime juice over, and serve with rice.
