Indonesian Spiced Coconut Chicken Recipe - Cooking Index
8 tablespoons | 120ml | Chicken thighs or (large) |
4 | Chicken breasts | |
1 | Onion - sliced (large) | |
2 tablespoons | 30ml | Lemon juice |
1/4 cup | 59ml | Oil |
1/2 lb | 227g / 8oz | Mushrooms - sliced |
4 | Macadamia nuts - ground | |
2 | Garlic - minced | |
1 teaspoon | 5ml | Coriander |
1 teaspoon | 5ml | Nutmeg |
3/4 teaspoon | 3.8ml | Pepper |
1/2 teaspoon | 2.5ml | Salt |
1/4 cup | 59ml | Soy sauce |
1 1/2 cups | 355ml | Canned cream of coconut - (unsweetened) |
1/3 cup | 78ml | Half and half |
2 | Bay leaves |
In a plastic bag, combine chicken and spice mixture. Shake until well coated. Let stand in a single layer 1 hour. Saute onion in oil until translucent. Remove onion.
Add chicken and brown about 5 minutes per side (I cut the chicken into smaller pieces to cook more evenly and get more spice per piece.) Return onion and any remaining spice mixture to skillet, then add sauce ingredients. Simmer, covered, 20 minutes. Add mushrooms and simmer uncovered 15 minutes.

Discard bay leaves. Add lemon juice and heat through. Bill Jernigan One note: if you go to an Asian grocery, get the canned coconut milk.
