Nicky's Kitchen SanctuaryChilli Lime Chicken Recipe
Save it, plan it, shop for it.
Supper turns recipes like this into a planned week and a sorted grocery list — then walks you through cooking, hands-free. Coming soon to iOS.
Ingredients
Serves 4- 1 tablespoon cornflour (cornstarch)
- 2 tablespoons cornflour (cornstarch)
- 3 garlic cloves (peeled and minced)
- 4 tablespoons lime juice (approx. the juice from 2 limes)
- Sliced spring onions (scallions)
- Wedges of lime
- 8 boneless skinless chicken thigh fillets (trimmed of excess fat and flattened out with your hands)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 red chillies (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- Chilli flakes
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil ((I use avocado oil))
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Sesame seeds
Open in Supper to scale servings and turn this into a grocery list.
Steps
- Step 1
Place the chicken thigh fillets on a board. Mix together 2 tablespoons of the cornflour with the salt and pepper and sprinkle it on both sides of the chicken thighs.
- Step 2
Heat the sesame and neutral oil in a large frying pan (skillet) over a medium-high heat.
- Step 3
Add the chicken thighs and fry for 6-7 minutes, turning once, until golden.
- Step 4
Meanwhile, mix together the soy sauce, lime juice, honey, brown sugar, garlic, chillies and remaining 1 tablespoon of cornflour in a small bowl.
- Step 5
Once the chicken is golden brown, pour the mixture all over the chicken thighs, in the pan. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 5 minutes, until the sauce has thickened.
- Step 6
Top the chicken with sesame seeds, chilli flakes, lime slices and sliced spring onions, then serve. I love to serve these up with boiled rice or noodles.
Interactive, hands-free timers are available in the Supper app.
