Food Wishes Recipes - Green Coconut Chicken Recipe - Coconut Milk Curry Chicken

[1989clamchowder]

"Curry police brutality"...ROFL!!

[FlowersInHisHair]

Of course this is a curry. Do you think that all Thai people cook curry the same way?

[RollinTumblin]

I made this today for friends. Delicious.  Got a lot of compliments. As said in the video, not "authentic" Thai, but no matter - a super easy and tasty dish. I also love the style of these videos - they make me want to cook. Thanks Chef John. :)

[lum2ina]

anything with coconut milk tastes better...it's like adding milk/cream/cheese in every western food..for the south east asian....but truth be told it's high cholesterol

[jaakizamazin]

@lum2ina That's actually false. Coconuts, or any plant foods, don't contain cholesterol. Cholesterol is naturally made lipid(fat) in the liver of most animals, including humans. So by adding an animal product, chicken for example, you're adding cholesterol, but coconuts contain 0.

[campoclaire]

Green Coconut Chicken smells great...

Tom Kha Kai

[5umm3rb]

@xgunther Not Tom Kha Kai, it's Gang Kiew Wan Gai.

[TheRivalConcept]

I would call this Thai Style Green chicken curry. As its in the style of thai green curry but just not Authentic.

[wetever100]

yummmmiii can;t wait to try . thank you very much chef

[HeyItsLight]

Oh, yumm... I'm craving my grandpa's famous creamy coconut chicken & shrimp now... Hey! You should make your own version of that Chef John!(:

[AL2TUDE]

so good

[exactlymim]

I'm Thai, but I don't feel like I'm insulted. The recipe is not really Thai, as you said, but it looks REALLY GOOD!!!!

[niracha01]

this thai food goodddd.

[WoundedEgo]

As always, a good, practical approach to a classic....

[blacksilversss]

i love that "skip this ad" button :D

[AlcoholLevel]

Made this yesterday and it turned out GREAT. I didn't think the sweet potato would work but it was a really nice element to include. Although I switched the cilantro with italian parsley because, well, cilantro tastes like ass. And I used one of those Japanese type eggplants hehehe.

[AncientBoneCrusher]

Those chicken parts do look perfectly browned. Hold on, let me take a sip of my can of water.

[adum50]

Interesting recipes, japeno, ginger, and whole lime were certainly a very interesting twist. I'm from the country with curry police brutality btw, but hey, its not only the police that's brutal here.

[sf49ersrule]

use a strainer to FISH out the CHICKEN pieces.

[jayteean]

Very funny Chef John, ...curry police brutality hahahahahaha... u rock

[SevereIDAHO]

wow, this looks amazingly delicious. Happy New Years Chef John.

[MistressDracona]

Looks like I'm going to have to make some of this for myself...hubby's a wuss about spicy stuff lol

[ruelf21]

nice 1.. this version is like my mother's chicken curry. yumyum! 2 thumbs up chef john!

[TherealHaaku]

curry police is gonna backtrace this!

[meatisdeliciouse]

Cilantro is so disgusting that I would rathe expiriance phisical pain then eat it. Coriander to me is more unpleasent tha a kidney stone, I actualy hade a stone and would rather that 10 times i a row than to have cilantro touch my skin. 

[drishy94303]

@meatisdeliciouse that sucks, i think coriander is tha shit.. mmmm and thai basil.. he aint kidding its soo good.. i got siam basil growing outside :)

[meatisdeliciouse]

@drishy94303 Well your right about coriander tasting like shit, I think it tastes more like washing up iquid. I can't stand the stuff, it's absolutely beastly.

[gurubhai01]

I'm from Thailand and I might have to call in the international curry police.. regardless,

I love your show!!

[Pimpvaic]

WHERE CAN I GET CANNED WATER?

[meatisdeliciouse]

@Pimpvaic from a tap.

[ECHOETUDE]

.. tried it, flavors were awesome. bit mild tho.

[heelrunner]

I'm actually ill right now and can't stomach anything ingestible, but this made my mouth water. >_<

[meatisdeliciouse]

Corriander tastes like poison to me, I HATE it. I have NEVER found someone who hates anything as much as I hate corriander. Even people who don't eat meet. Some people go off meat, but they still ate it. I can't even put coriander in my mouth it's that bad, and it smells so horible. Why the hell is the 3 things I hate the most used the MOST. Chillie, coriander and parsley. Spicy food is just horible and make me want to be sick, i don't understand how anyone in thei right mind coul eat cilantro?

[liarsclub75]

@meatisdeliciouse lol I hate it too. I buy it for my rabbit to eat and I hate the smell. This dish can be made without it, it's very versatile.

[meatisdeliciouse]

@liarsclub75 I wont even give it to her, she need to be kissed by me and I don't want the smell of coriander when I cuddle her. I give her parsley, she loves it. Coriander gives me nightmeares I hate it so much. Coriander to me is an all consuming hatered. I would rather pass another kidney stone again than eat it, and i'm not jokeing. coriander is the only thing I actualy HATE everything else I just don't like.

[xLithePanther]

@meatisdeliciouse I don't understand how anyone in their right mind could NOT eat cilantro.

See what I did there?

[meatisdeliciouse]

@xLithePanther x( oh god. If I eat it acidently, I scream like I am in paine. I once washed my mouth out with vinegar after having it. I once downed a glass of strong red wine in anout half a second JUST to wash away the flavour. To me the taste is like poison, I detest it. I would rather pass another kidney stone or eat a rwa chilly, and I don't even like chilly pepers. Cilantro is absolutely HORIBLE and I would rathe drink stagnat milk than eat it, it's so horible and evil.

[meatisdeliciouse]

Curries are just ofensive, why do they ALWAYS put bloody CORIANDER in the damn dish and make them so spicy. Spicy food is horible and coriander is just plane awful. I HATE curries>: (

[meatisdeliciouse]

@meatisdeliciouse Me too I don't like coriander either, you and me are verry simular you know.

[swtsl3]

I'm Asian and my mom always makes something similar to this but we have an Asian supermarket that has the green curry paste that comes in a can..but I'm going to try this...yummy...

[LadyLatias]

CURRY POLICE! THEY'LL TRACK YOU DOWN IF YOU MISUSE THE WORD CURRY! xD

[j0va2020]

made it, ate it! loved it! very spicy! but next time ill try not put so much ginger just gonna let that out and less jalapeno lol my dad took a big bite of a piece of ginger thinking it was a potatoe lmao!! his face was priceless! thanks cheff john. i will be trying that butternutt squash recipe now.

[audioblanche]

thats similar to a filipino dish,its called "ginnataang manok" meaning milk with coconut..its with ginger i think you would like it,so you should google it.. :)

[j0va2020]

Hi, am a yound man not really into cooking but when i came across this recipe, i was like I HAVE TO TRY IT OUT! so i went and bought all the ingredients and right now am simmering my chicken into that delicious green stuff lol well at least i hope so. wish me luck and happy enjoyment! =]

[stephchan86]

[WoundedEgo]

Am very much enjoying your channel. Thanks Chef John.

[nopedamnit]

lmao -- "I stole that from Alton Brown." Amen. He's awesome!

[lovelyaley]

I cooked this last night for my husband and it was AMAZING! Your recipes are always great. What would I do without you?

[Snipermeow]

Aromatics...must use that in a sentence today. Thanks for the recipies! You make such awesome, simple yet creative dishes... AND you're funny. And now I'm hungry. :)

[jules4456]

[BeeferPig]

omyfukinggod that looks delcious

[thevirtualnightmare]

mmm yams! <3

[mongirlian]

You, Chef John, are an amazing man.

[zuki2love]

wow, the canned water jokes were alone worth it to watch this video

[mydenmel]

yummayyy^_^thanks!!!

[bolanos777]

is canned water healthier than bottled water?

[TheRivalConcept]

@bolanos777 he means equal parts water to coconut milk. im guessing his can of coconut milk is 400ml he is usuing the can instead of dirtying another cup ^^

[bubbles02010]

*salivating*

[TheCutenany]

Thai food :)

[180Taco]

ur food gives me tha special feeling in my belly :) looks so good !

[candyflipdhippy]

thats a nice golden brown lol

[bradley11896]

Did you ever think about trying to go on a show like top chef or anything? You'd probably fuck shit up. ;)

[ratmq]

@bradley11896 You DO mean"Fuck Shit Up" in a Good Way......Right?

[bradley11896]

@ratmq Of Course :)

[powerplantop]

That does look full of flavor.

[lvlyD4k0t4]

thank god i found u again......youtube took my old account (castlesx) cos i was a bad girl but I have just caught up on your videos and i'm so in love with you!!!!!!! sorry Mrs Mitzewich :)

[ChetzNation]

Make FRIED BACON! OMG SUPER FAT! DO IT NAO!

[ComfyBoxers]

I made this dish lastnight, I used a jar of 'green curry' instead of the blender mix, I added coconut milk and water and it turned out AMAZING -- fresh basil is a must!

[Kabukihomewood]

why do you strain the fat? Is it only for "health" purposes? I eat all the fat I can get off of pastured chickens. Concentrated fuel, full of omega 3 and other good stuff, Vitamin D. Fat from factory farmed chicken is of course, full of steroids, antibiotics, nasty stuff, so yeah I'd skim it off too. Eat Grass Fed!

[subtlelove]

... ooops! Not curry :D lol

[HessedJoy]

This is much like a version of one of my favorite Filipino dishes. Thanks for making this video! You're a great chef. :)

[fajran]

Hi Chef John, you should try Opor Ayam! it's also made of chicken and coconut milk

[mariah54242004]

So I wasn't even hungry when I started watching this and now I am like starving after I finished watching the video.

[BettinaBalser]

I made this tonight for my supper and...absolutely delicious. And SO easy to make. I can't hardly wait for the leftovers tomorrow.

[foodwishes]

Attn: all you "can of water" people... I'll do the jokes.

[foodwishes]

@scuz55 i hope so... you seem like a real catch.

[Phaythful]

i LOVE curry! i make this ALL the time!!!

[twentythree2life]

very ugly dish but absolutely delish!!

[Rinque43]

i thought you messed up the recipe when you said oops, chef john ):

[harmonem]

I freakin LOVE coconut milk!

[IAlanakiI]

Thai basil makes all the difference. You will not get the authentic taste without it. Especially in Thai fried rice. Yummy.

[CAZPERsayz]

this is so good

[shadowbobo8028]

that looks a lot like curry to me

[WildChildftw]

Why do you skim the excess fat?

[Airave]

My visiting Mom, and her hubby,

are getting a variation on this

this week! Almost bought some

coconut milk today... then I see this.

Thanks for the inspiration, again, Chef!

[FenderGibsonWashburn]

Can I use bottled water instead of canned? LOL This looks fantastic especially since the dark meat is my favorite parts of a chicken.

[aznbullet95]

For those of you who dont know, there are actually places that sell cans of water.

[natbkk88]

thai food

[missiworld]

That looks absolutely delicious. I would want to eat it as is, and I'm a vegetarian!

But, if I was to replicate this without chicken, what would be a good substitute? I've thought about chickpeas and white beans or even potatoes.

[anniemunthoei]

it's really look like thai green curry :)

[fatboy2800]

Can you substitute parsley for the cilantro?

I absolutely hate cilantro.

[LH787]

awesome :D

[Nur8Nurani]

where can i buy one can of water?

[ParisFlorenceVIcky]

looks so good!!

[PatricaMacjella]

I wish you were my husband

[blackberryjuice1]

@PatricaMacjella Is there a picture of chef john?

[MYHOLLANDGIRL]

@PatricaMacjella ...Haaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! I wish he was my husband too!!! lol !!!

This was probably the most delicious recipe ever on here!!! YUMMMMMMM!

[Titan001]

OK if you add curry powder to anything it makes it curry!

[reivilo]

The genius that is Chef John must stopped!!!!

[omegahpla]

that looks yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm love dark meat ... not talkin about whack druggie whitey chasers either, so don't write

[tamunatko]

mmmmmmmmmmmm this looks soooooooooooooooooo delicioussssssssss.....::drool­s::

[memmingPark]

Alton Brown!!!! Yay 1:55

[thaipuying]

I use to only order the red curry and one day my mom ordered green curry and I'm thai hence the name anyways I said ew! green curry sounds nasty and my mom said try it and I did and now I only order green curry ..love it!

[Iris3492]

The greenness looks kinda disgusting... 

[DreeLulu]

Thank you much!!!

[TheAlmightyFSM]

You know, Chef...

I was having one of my worst days today, and I saw this new video in my subscriptions area of my front page and decided to click it... And then I heard that music. That sweet, sweet music... followed by your friendly voice of course... and I'm left with no choice but to smile, relax, and go for the ride.

You rock, Chef... this recipe makes me reconsider my hatred for coconut.

[MistressDracona]

I'm going to have to make this...looks awesome. Could be because I'm hungry >.> hmm

[tiingg91]

I don't cook but i just enjoy watching every single of your video & sometime they made me really hungry.. lol

[jeishun]

chef john you should have a party at your house and remember to invite me over..

[rhettnyedotorg]

hey john every time you do a recipe with teflon you sound like your adnoids get enflamed on the v/o.

[vanillathai]

Im a thai and i would say thats definetly "gäng kiau wan" (Green curry)...Love it!!!

I really want to put my head in this...hihi

[Thegypsyscorpio]

I still love you though.

[Thegypsyscorpio]

John that looks like vomit.

[chuyton]

@Thegypsyscorpio well im sure youve never eaten vomit...taste just like chicken curry yummm

[haleykisme]

i screamed when u put the jalepenos in. lol. i was like AH!!!

[Dixie096]

foodwishes videos just keep getting better & better, YUM!

[Maxstate]

when you added the basil, did you turn off the heat?

[DefyingNoodles]

@Maxstate no.

[shiroirobin]

[bripowered]

[dawayne15]

You go right up there with Alton brown on my favorite chefs list

[marilyneyvonne]

[cowardlygoomba]

[TheVittleVlog]

Looks really good!!!!

[zoe77able]

[hollywawa]

more thai food please >.<

[MISSHERO19]

LOOKS GOOD!!

[moocow0468]

[GunitForLyfe]

mmm

[AcceptMe]

that looks gross

[kingkrazy0wns]

@scuz55 Extremely informative, LOL

[DreeLulu]

I was going to ask about are voting???What was the outcome??? I see others are asking.

[Becclyn2]

@DreeLulu Chef John won!

[TerryMMA85]

any chance you could make a video cooking the koran :)

[givememoore22]

This looks fantastic. I will try this for Sunday dinner.

[xiAshley]

nomnomnom

[bluebird4498]

That Chicken Soup S**T

Me Sooooooooooooo Hungry

[graffnameseed]

zammm thats how i make my green curry with out the red chili powder tho and a lot more other stuff like star anise and lemon grass

[lvca1000]

yummy

[louloumatou]

ok, i am doing this TODAY!! "oops. not curry". i even have the eggplants and thai basil on the ready! thanks!

[crazydog349]

you should have added potatoes instead of yam, it would help thicken the sauce a little bit more. Then again, that is my opinion.

[kopit]

gosh imagine eating it with 'ketupat' yummmmmmmmmmmmm

[ladyshkspre]

This looks wonderful and extremely simple. My neighbor (who is Indian) has encouraged me to branch out and try more Asian inspired dishes and this one totally looks like something I could do. I can't wait!

[ayu303677]

looks like thai's cooks..

[jenniedo08]

I'm going to try this soon, I love curry!

[jusuo]

@scuz55 LOL

[EA78751]

very educational!

[Protool11]

The murky green color would throw some people off. However, if they knew exactly what was in this dish most would love to eat it. After watching this video i believe the dish is absolutely delicious. Definately a southern way of cooking.

[Seanc0272]

Chef John Where Can I find a can of water?

[catsmew]

@Seanc0272

Have you looked in the cans aisle?

[alienboyguitar]

@Seanc0272 you pour some water into the can. There you have the can of water :D ENJOY!

[Sugarhyper95]

@Seanc0272 after you have put the coconut milk in, use the can and fill it with water

[zombiesonar]

@Seanc0272 even tho your jus being a smart ass its equal parts of coconut milk to water... thus using the same can douche.

[wirevo]

Lol. Seriously, you guys need to get a sense of humor.

[vahabi3]

@Seanc0272 I think he means a can of water using the coconut milk can :p unless you were being sarcastic lol

[Skullchaser08]

Make one yourself.

[yungmula35]

@Seanc0272 lol

[Alika1212]

@Seanc0272 post apocalyptic earth
