Thai Coconut Chicken





MAKES   4 SERVINGS


Believe it or not, this Sunday night dinner standard is from the 
Weight Watcher's Cookbook. It is absolutely delicious 
with its spicy chili peppers, basil and coconut milk.

2 teaspoons canola oil
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch strips
1 onion, thinly sliced
2 garlic gloves, minced
1 teaspoon grated peeled fresh ginger
1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons Thai red curry paste
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 pound asparagus, cut diagonally into 2-inch pieces
1/2 cup coconut milk, unsweetened
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped (Thai basil, if available)
2 cups cooked white rice



1. Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet, 
then add the chicken and sprinkle with the salt. Saute until browned 
and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate.
2. Heat the remaining oil in the same skillet over low heat, then add onion, 
garlic and ginger. Saute until fragrant and the onions are softened, 
about 6 minutes. Stir in sugar, curry paste and cumin. Cook 1 minute, 
stirring constantly. Add the asparagus, coconut milk and fish sauce, 
then bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the asparagus 
is crisp-tender, about 3 minutes.
3. Add chicken and basil, then heat through. Serve over rice.
