Preparation:

COCONUT & CORIANDER CHICKEN SKEWERS

Serves 4 - 6

These are great on the BBQ and can even be frozen ready to cook on skewers.

Ingredients:-

1kg chicken breast fillets
1/2 bunch coriander + roots
2 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons oil
1/4 cup sweet chilli sauce
1/4 cup coconut cream
1 tablespoon fish sauce

Cut chicken breasts into long thin strips
Place all ingredients into TM bowl
Process until smooth
Pour sauce over chicken strips
Refrigerate for one hour to marinate
Thread chicken onto skewers.

They freeze great too which is good when chicken is on special.  I make up a big batch and freeze them ready to go on skewers which makes a quick meal when time is limited.


Grill or BBQ

HINT:   I freeze any leftover coconut cream in can for next time

JD - they are very tasty Trudy.  Thanks for the posting.

Green - Thanks for this recipe Trudy. I made these for dinner last night and they were demolished! So delicious. I didn't have any fresh coriander so used dry instead and I used milk and a handful of coconut instead of the coconut cream. Still tasted great!

Kimberley - Thanks for this recipe, we had it tonight with stirfry veg and rice and it was really nice. My sort of flavours! I only needed marinade for one chicken breast (I still stretch one between hubs, my 4 little kids and me) so had quite a bit of marinade left in the TMX. So I added a little more coconut milk, some cornflour and gave it a quick spin at 90 for a minute or 2 until was thick and used this as a sauce for those of us that needed an extra flavour quick. It was really yummy. That is the reason I love my thermomix - I would never bother with things like sauces beforehand. Too easy.

JulieO -  we loved them.  After having loads of salads lately I decided to serve with mashed potatoes, steamed carrots and green beans.  Recipe has gone into my favourites, thanks so much.
We liked it that much that we decided to have what was left over again tonight. 
This time I didn't bother threading onto skewers, just grilled the strips as is, cooked much quicker too. The flavour was more pronounced today also, loved it and will try and marinate overnight again next time. Thanks again for a great recipe, now a real favourite.

Recipe sounds great - better than the ones from the butcher.

Good idea with left over coconut milk - always seems to be too much.

No, we are going away on the 1st April and I think from memory it was too close to this date for me to have the time to attend.  Let me know how it went and what they did at it please. Would have been nice to have caught up with you.

We liked it that much that we decided to have what was left over again tonight.  We have to go out soon so we've had an early tea.  

This time I didn't bother threading onto skewers, just grilled the strips as is, cooked much quicker too.  The flavour was more pronounced today also, loved it and will try and marinate over night again next time.  Also served with sweet potato which I forgot about until after the photo was taken.  

Thanks again for a great recipe, now a real favourite.

We are haveing this for dinner tonight JulieO.  I am using tenderlions which only take a moment to grill so won't be using skewers also.  Glad you like them, it's a very quick and tasty meal.
