Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Season chicken with salt and pepper, to taste. Melt butter in a large oven-proof skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, and sear both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side; drain excess fat and set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together coconut milk and cornstarch; set aside. Add garlic to the skillet, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in ginger until fragrant, about 1 minute. Whisk in curry paste until well combined, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in coconut milk mixture, and cook, whisking constantly, until incorporated and slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in lime juice, fish sauce, sugar and sugar snap peas. Return chicken to the skillet. Place into oven and roast until completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 25-30 minutes. Serve immediately, garnished with chili pepper and cilantro, if desired.

THAI CHICKEN CURRY

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Season the chicken with salt and black pepper.
• Melt the coconut oil over medium-high heat in a large, ovenproof skillet. Add the chicken and sear on both sides until deeply golden brown. Transfer to a plate.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the bell pepper, leek, garlic, and ginger, and stir to combine. Cook for 2 minutes, until slightly softened.
• Stir in the curry paste. Cook for 5 additional minutes, stirring often. Slowly pour in the coconut milk while stirring to combine. Return the reserved chicken to the skillet.
• Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 25 minutes. The chicken will be fully cooked when a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the chicken registers 165 degrees F, and the juices run clear. (Note: Smaller chicken breasts may be done closer to the 15-minute mark.)
• Top with cilantro. Serve with rice and fresh sourdough bread for mopping up the sauce if desired.

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Place all curry paste ingredients in your food processor or blender.
• Add 3 to 4 tablespoons of the coconut milk to help blend ingredients and blitz to create a fragrant Thai curry paste.
• Heat a wok or deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle in the oil and swirl around, then add the curry paste. Stir-fry 1 minute to release the fragrance.

• Cover and reduce heat to medium-low, gently simmering 15 minutes. Stir occasionally.
• Add the tomatoes and stir. Then continue cooking another 15 minutes, or until chicken has achieved desired tenderness.
• While curry is cooking, prepare the topping. Place shredded coconut in a dry frying pan over medium-high heat. Stir until coconut turns light golden brown. Transfer to a bowl and set aside to cool.
• When chicken and potatoes are tender, remove from heat. Add 3/4 of the toasted coconut and stir in. Taste the curry, adding more fish sauce for more salt/flavor. If you find it too salty or sweet, add more lime or lemon juice. Add more chili for more intense spiciness.
• Portion out curry into bowls or plates. Top each one with fresh basil and a generous sprinkling of the toasted coconut. Serve with plenty of steamed jasmine rice on the side.
