You will need:
- 2 chicken breasts, sliced horizontally
For the marinade:
- 1 tsp cumin
- 2 tsp coriander powder
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 chilli, chopped
- 25 g brown sugar
- 2 tsp turmeric powder
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp crushed peanuts
- 150 ml coconut milk
- ½ tsp salt
For the salad:
- 150 g green beans, cut into thin sticks
- 100 g cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 1 chilli, chopped
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 3 tbsp fish sauce
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- a few leaves of coriander and basil
Step 1:
To a small saucepan, add the cumin, coriander, black pepper, chilli, brown sugar, turmeric, soy sauce, peanuts, coconut milk and salt. Heat, mixing occasionally so that the flavours combine well. Remove it from the heat and let it cool.
Step 2:
Fill the larger saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Season it with a little salt, add the beans let the water come back to a boil and leave them for 1 minute. Transfer them directly to the ice water. This stops the cooking process and preserves their colour. Leave them in the water for a minute, drain, and set aside.
Step 3:
Once the marinade has cooled, place the chicken breasts into the bowl and pour the marinade on top. Mix well and leave to marinate for at least one hour.
TIP:
As with all marinated dishes, the longer you allow the meat to marinate, the better the flavour will be.
Step 4:
Into a bowl, add the sliced chilli, lemon juice, brown sugar, fish sauce and olive oil. Mix until the sugar dissolves and set aside.
Step 5:
Place the grill pan on a high heat. When very hot, add the chicken, two pieces at a time. Cook for about 1.5 minutes, depending on their thickness. Next, turn the chicken and cook the other side for another 1.5 minutes. Remove from the heat and repeat with the remaining meat.
Step 6:
Add the tomatoes to the beans, pour the sauce over top and mix it well, making sure everything is coated.
Step 7:
Place the chicken breasts on a serving plate, put some of the tomato and beans on top and top with a few fresh herbs. Drizzle a little of the salad dressing over top and on the plate and serve.
