 So I was inspired to make this Thai chicken recipe after buying a package of Kevin's Thai chicken sauce here This is a coconut sauce, and I thought man. He's doing it healthy. I should be able to do it as well I'm doing a recreation here, and I think it turned out very delicious And now you can make it at home nice and easy and make as much as you want because these little packets are kind of small and You have to buy quite a few to serve up in my opinion, you know six people I'm rockin robin, and I'm gonna show you how to do it right after my chef joke. It's time for chef joke number one Okay, so this guy walks up to his friend, and he says hey I just finally finished reading your book about basil, and the friend says Well, it's about time And the guy says no, it's about basil So to start up a recipe we are gonna take a half of a yellow onion, and we're going to slice it up Nice and fine. You want to use the super fine dice here I don't want the chunks of onion to be really big, but just very tiny Next we're gonna get some fresh ginger here. I've got about oh a couple inches worth But we're gonna peel it, and then I'm gonna cut off and grate about an inch worth so that I get about a teaspoon of fresh ginger You can use the back of the spoon as I'm doing here Or you can use the knife to kind of trim it off or a combination of both which seems to work pretty well Once you've got about an inch of it exposed then go ahead and take a microplane or a fine grater And just grate up until you get about a teaspoon full Next up is some minced garlic So I've got three large cloves here use for a few if you have small ones and we'll just cut off the end and then Smash that garlic just like you do the like button if you're enjoying the video and then peel off the skin Then slice up those cloves nice and thin and then just chop it up until it's very fine Next up is our Thai red curry paste now. This adds a lot of flavor to the dish as you can see in the ingredients There's a lot of good things here lots of flavors I'll leave a link for you in the description if you want to order it online So I'm going to use about four tablespoons of this. This is not very spicy and very kid friendly So but it just adds a ton of flavor Next up we're using some full fat coconut milk And I like this brand because when you read the back of it you can see that the only ingredients are coconut in this So read your labels so you know what you're getting We're also going to be using some coconut cream I happen to get this at Trader Joe's and I love the ingredients on this as well for the same reason as the other one It's basically just coconut now with the coconut cream We're only going to be using a half a cup so give it a stir to make sure everything's well combined I want to sneak a few veggies in here So I'm going to use a red bell pepper chop it up nice and some zucchini Now with the kidney cut off both ends and then cut the zucchini in half Cut that in half again, and then cut that each piece into thirds Then turn it on its side and give it a nice chop and then place that in the same bowl with the bell pepper Okay, now let's talk about chicken. I'm using organic chicken thighs here They're a bonus skinless from Costco, but feel free to use whatever you want. Just keep in mind that chicken breasts tend to dry out and they're a little bit more of a challenge to cook because of it So here I'm trimming off some of the excess fat and then I'm just going to cut these into bite-sized pieces You can cut them into strips if you want as long as you cut them into smaller pieces So they'll cook up quickly now the last thing I want to prep up before we start cooking is our thickener I'm using arrowroot here, but you could use cornstarch I've got a couple of tablespoons of water cold water in my dish here, and I'm going to add two tablespoons of arrowroot That's more than I'll probably need, but I like to have a little extra in case I need it Okay, it must be time for chef joke number two here we go a friend of mine asked me the other day She said would you like to try if you like to have some of my coconut shampoo? And I thought about it for a bit and I said Well, I think I'll pass. I don't have any coconuts Okay, we're ready to start cooking. You need a large frying pan over It's about medium heat and we're gonna add some olive oil to the pan and we're gonna add those finely diced onions and the ginger We want to stir fry cook this for about no three four minutes maybe five We just want the onions to get softened Okay, it's been about three minutes. The onions have softened Time to add the garlic. I turned the temperature down to low We don't want to burn the garlic So we just want it to get fragrant and that'll we'll just stir this up for one minute now. We're gonna add our curry paste Next we're gonna add some ground coriander And we're gonna add a couple teaspoons of that when I work that paste into the heat a little bit Do this for about one minute now we're gonna add the coconut milk to this and The coconut cream which is gonna help thicken this up. I'm gonna turn the temperature back to medium Start giving this a stir Next we're gonna add some fish sauce and you can find this in just about any supermarket So we're gonna add just a couple teaspoons of this not too much and you can get the written recipe below the video Now next we're gonna add some coconut sugar and this is just gonna add a little bit of sweetness to the dish start off With three tablespoons and if you need more you can always go another tablespoon, but start there and see what you think Now we're just gonna bring this up to a simmer for 10 minutes Now it's time to add the arrowroot and make sure you give it a stir before you actually add it so that you know That it's dissolved well And when you add it you want to add it slowly you see I'm adding just a little bit at a time here and Mixing it up because otherwise it'll clump up and it'll be kind of not good So make sure you keep stirring with a whisk the whole time and you have this up to a simmer when you're doing it And just keep adding it until you get the thickness that you like Okay, so this is looking really good to me and I like this thickness. I'll stop here It's time to add the chicken so I'll just slide it right on in gently so it doesn't splash and We're gonna cook this for about five or six minutes Make sure you submerge the chicken in the sauce turn up the heat a little bit so that it'll come to a boil and simmer a bit And like I said, it's only cooking for five or six minutes And I'm also gonna place a lid on this to help it cook a little bit quicker. All right, it's been six minutes Let's have a look at that chicken looks pretty darn good. It looks like it's cooking up nicely Now we're gonna add the veggies And we're gonna cook these for a couple two three minutes until they are just fork tender just getting a little soft And we're also going to place that lid back on it's been four minutes. So we're going to check those veggies Give them a stir and then pierce them with a fork They're done. So now we're going to taste our sauce and see if we need to make any adjustments I am going to add just a little touch of salt Now for a little brightness, we're going to zest one lime into the pot Now take that lime and cut it in half and juice half of it into the pot And taste the sauce and see if you want to add more lime juice. You certainly can I grabbed some fresh basil out of my garden So we're going to pull off quite a few petals here And then I'm going to chop it up and add it as a garnish not really a garnish, but a flavoring right at the end And don't be afraid to use plenty And I'm serving this up with some brown rice And I can't wait to give this a taste I'll tell you the curry paste the fish sauce the lime the coconut It really makes for layers of flavor here that is just really delicious Now if you're looking for a nice dessert to finish off our dinner You got to try my key lime pie with gluten-free crust This thing is nice and tart and creamy and delicious Click the link on the screen and it'll take you right to the recipe Did you enjoy today's video?
