Kaffir Lime Chicken with Mango Salad

Marinade

  • 4 chicken breast fillets
  • 16 fresh kaffir lime leaves, centre vein removed, coarsely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 3 tbs fresh lime juice
  • 2 tbs peanut oil

Dressing

  • 160 ml light coconut milk
  • 4 fresh kaffir lime leaves, centre vein removed, coarsely chopped
  • 1 large chilli, finely sliced, seeds removed

Salad

  • 2 Lebanese cucumbers, halved lengthways, sliced diagonally
  • 1 mango, skin removed, diced
  • 1 cup fresh coriander, coarsely chopped
  • 1/4 red onion, finely sliced
  • 1/3 cup fresh mint leaves, torn
  • 1/3 cup fresh Thai basil, torn

Method

  1. Make the marinade: Combine the lime leaves, garlic, lime juice and peanut oil in a medium glass or ceramic bowl. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Cover and place in the fridge for 4-6 hours to marinate.
  2. Make the salad: Place the cucumber, mango, onion, coriander, mint and basil in a large bowl, and gently toss to combine.
  3. Make the dressing: Combine the coconut milk, chilli and extra lime leaves in a small bowl.
  4. Preheat a large frying pan or barbecue grill on medium-high. Drain the chicken and cook until golden and cooked through. Allow chicken to rest for a few minutes, then slice into smaller pieces.
  5. Toss chicken and salad together. Spoon over the coconut milk dressing to serve. (For a variation of the recipe, try prawns instead of chicken.)
