Thai-Spiced Coriander Chicken - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 chicken breasts
2 garlic cloves
1 green chili, deseeded
2 cm piece fresh ginger, peeled
4 tablespoons fresh coriander, chopped
1 lime, rind finely grated
3 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 tablespoon caster sugar
3/4 cup coconut cream

Preparation

Using a sharp knife, cut 3 deep slashes into the skinned side of each chicken breast. Place the breast in a single layer in a wide, non-metallic dish.
Put the garlic, chilli, ginger, coriander, lime rind and juice, soy sauce, caster sugar and coconut cream in a food processor and process until a smooth puree forms.
Spread the puree over both sides of the chicken breasts, coating them evenly. Cover the dish and leave to marinate in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
Lift the chicken from the marinade, put into a baking dish. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 30 minutes until thoroughly and evenly cooked.
Meanwhile, place the remaining marinade in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Lower the heat and simmer for several minutes to heat thoroughly. Pour sauce over the chicken breasts, accompanied with rice and vegetables.
