Instructions
Lime Sauce
- In a small mixing bowl whisk together lime juice, soy sauce, zest from 1 lime, ginger root, rice vinegar, and honey. Set aside. You will add this to the cooked chicken in step 3.
Thai Coconut Lime Chicken
- Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil with 1/2 tablespoon of sesame oil to a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and saute for 2 minutes, flip the chicken to brown on the other side for an additional 2 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink.
- Stir in the lime sauce mixture with the coconut milk and red curry paste, and cook for three minutes.
- Fold in the shitake mushrooms, snow peas, and mangos. Reduce heat to simmer and cook for about 10 minutes or until the sauce thickens. Finish the dish by adding the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Fold into the cooked chicken.
- Garnish with cashews, cilantro, and coconut flakes.
Notes
- Be sure to use fresh lime and ginger root, not the bottled kind as it adds a more intense flavor.
- Clean your mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel before adding them to the skillet.
- If you want an even creamier sauce, add in a little more full-fat coconut milk or some full-fat coconut cream.
- Be sure to cook the chicken on medium to medium-high heat so that it browns and cooks evenly. High heat will burn the oil.
