4 chicken breasts, cut into large chunks
1 (270 ml) can low-fat coconut milk
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons cayenne
3 tablespoons peanut butter
1 tablespoon coriander
1 tablespoon water
2 medium onions, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind

1
Combine turmeric, salt, ginger, pepper, cayenne, peanut butter, coriander, and water. Mix to a paste.
2
Saute onions & garlic in a little olive oil until tender. Add the peanut butter paste, saute 2 minutes.
3
Remove from heat. Combine well with chicken. Refrigerate in a covered bowl for at least 1 hour. (I left mine overnight, and the flavors were awesome).
4
In a large pan, bring the coconut to the boil. Add chicken pieces, paste, and lemon rind. Stir until all combined. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
5
Remove the chicken pieces from the pan, and place under the grill until browned. Spoon remaining sauce over the chicken to serve.
6
We served this with a garden salad, but next time I'm thinking of cutting the chicken smaller, and stirring some Singapore noodles through.
