This Seared Coconut-Lime Chicken with Snap Pea Slaw is an amazing recipe to add to your repertoire. It’s full of Asian ingredients like coconut cream, cilantro, lime and my all time favorite oil to cook with – sesame oil. Sesame oil is made from sesame seeds and it has a very distinctive nutty taste. It smells amazing when you cook with it too!
To make this, first assemble the pea slaw in a large salad bowl. Sear seasoned chicken in a pan and when you have transferred the chicken to plates, make a sauce with coconut cream and lime juice. The chicken juices left in the pan will add to the flavor of the sauce. At the end spoon the slaw onto the cooked chicken and enjoy!
To make my Seared Coconut-Lime Chicken with Snap Pea Slaw, you will need the following ingredients:
Whisk the sesame oil, ginger, 1 ½ tablespoons of lime juice and ½ a teaspoon of salt together in a large salad bowl.
Add snap peas, scallions and snow peas to the dressing, and mix well to combine.
Slice each chicken breast horizontally in half so that you are left with 4 thin cutlets. Pound each one until it is ¼ inch thick. Season both sides with ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper.
In large pan or skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to warm plates.
Remove the pan from the heat and pour in the coconut cream and remaining 1 ½ tablespoons of lime juice. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Add the cilantro leaves to the pea slaw.
Spoon the coconut sauce over the chicken on plates. Pile the pea slaw on top of the chicken and serve.
