Chicken with Coconut Milk
Chicken with coconut milk, delicious and yummy chicken dish with a vibrant taste of coconut milk and little spicy flavor of chilies. This Indonesian chicken dish is a bit time-consuming. My parents are true chicken lovers, and we experiment with different chicken dishes as a starter, main dish and more. Sometimes I serve chicken dishes with some exotic salad. But this dish you can serve as a standalone dish. Since it is winter season, I made baked potato salad along with chicken with coconut milk.
The procedure for making chicken with coconut milk is easy to make, and it is made in two steps only. The first step is to sauté the prepared ground paste of red chili, cloves, shallots, candlenut, and some other ingredients. Then the milk is added and simmered for a while. Lastly, chicken is added and seasoned with sugar and salt and then cooked until tender. Have this exotic chicken dish with any exotic salad.
