This recipe is an absolute favourite of mine, in fact such a favourite that it has been difficult to share this one with you! However, your dinner parties will never be the same again as this delicious recipe will set you a gold standard and have your guests raving about your unbeatable cooking!

  • 4 Chicken breasts
  • 1-2 Red Chilies (depending on hotness required!) chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons dark soy sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon sugar (or sweetener)
  • 1 inch piece of fresh ginger peeled and grated
  • 400ml can of lite coconut milk
  • Grated zest of 1 lime
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 heaped Teaspoon of plain flour
  • Large bunch of chopped coriander

Method
Score chicken breasts and place in a plastic storage container with lid.

Put all other ingredients apart from the flour, in a blender and blend for about 1 minute.

Pour contents of blender over the chicken and put on the lid and store in fridge over night.

On the day of cooking, pour marinade into a pan on top of stove and place chicken under the grill.

Add the flour to the marinade gentle whisk until all absorbed

On a low heat, gentle heat the marinade until the sauce thickens, simmer and cook for 10 min's

Mean while under a moderate heat, grill the chicken until nice and brown, turning on both sides, this should take about 5mins each side.

Place a chicken breast on each plate and pour over the Thai sauce.

Serve with fragrant rice or couscous with very tiny chopped up salad using tomatoes, carrots and cucumber or if you prefer serve with new potatoes, and mange tout.

This recipe tastes great with an ice cold bottle (or 2!) of crisp dry white wine.
