Braised Coriander Chicken Recipes

BRAISED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH CHILE, CINNAMON, CARDAMOM AND CORIANDER

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a Dutch oven or other large, heavy-bottomed ovenproof pan, heat the oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger and chili, and cook, stirring often, until slightly softened, about 1 minute. Add cinnamon, cardamom and coriander, and cook, stirring constantly, for about 30 seconds.
• Add chicken to the pot along with the salt, pepper, potatoes, coconut milk and just enough chicken stock to half-cover the thighs and potatoes. Turn heat to high, bring just to a simmer, then cover and put in the oven. Cook until potatoes are tender and chicken thighs are cooked through, 45 minutes to one hour.
• Use a slotted spoon to transfer the chicken and potatoes to a serving dish. Tent loosely with foil and let rest. Skim as much fat as possible from the surface of the sauce, then return to a simmer over medium-high heat and simmer until slightly thickened, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in the lime juice and cilantro, and adjust seasoning as necessary. Pour the sauce over the chicken and potatoes, and serve.

• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter to the pan, and when it has melted, add the onions, garlic, thyme bundle or rosemary sprigs, remaining 1/2 teaspoon then whisk in the chicken stock and increase the heat to high.
