Powered by Mom Blog and Family LOVE this Yummy Recipe – Thai Beau Chicken!
Here’s a favourite recipe of ours that’s quite easy to put together and has so much flavour between the coconut milk, basil and cilantro it’s simply delicious!
You can serve up this chicken dish on a bed of brown rice or noodles whatever your preference, my family loves it on brown rice!
Taken from one of our favourite recipe books the Looneyspoons Collection! We adjust the recipe based on what’s available in my fridge 🙂
Ingredients
Sauce
1 1/4 cups of light coconutmilk
1 tbsp grated gingeroot or to taste
1 tbsp reduced sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp Asian fish sauce
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice (I put in a little more)
1 tsp minced garlic
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes optional
Chicken
2 tsp peanut oil (can do without or use coconut oil)
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into strips
1 large red bell pepper
1/2 cup frozen peas (I substituted for asparagus which was yummy since we didn’t have peas)
1/2 cup Chopped fresh basil leaves
3 tbsp cilantro
1 ripe medium sized mango, peeled & sliced or in a pinch mango in a jar in the produce section
Whisk the sauce ingredients together, set aside until ready to use
Heat oil in large non-stick wok or pan, add onions for added flavour ifyou want which we did below and add chicken strips. Cook and stir until chicken is lightly browned about 4 minutes. Remove chicken and keep warm.
Reduce heat to medium high, ad red pepper or veggie of choice, cook and stir for 3 minutes until veggies are softened. Return chicken to wok and add sauce, peas, basil and cilantro. Cooking and stir until sauce is bubbly and has thickened.. Reduce heat to medium low, simmer for 5-6 minutes until chicken is cooked thoroughly. Stir in mango and cook for 1 more minute. Serve over rice or noodles.
Now you have a delicious meal that you can have as mild or spicy chicken whatever your preference! Enjoy!

April 1, 2015 at 9:23 PMThanks so much for sharing your recipe on Thai Coconut Chicken with Mango & Basil! It sounds really good! I’d, myself, lean more toward the side of less spicy though. It looks like you can even serve this over bread (whatever good for you bread that you use) or even mashed potatoes! Potatoes are good for you! With this recipe there is so many different ways to make it and many things to serve it on as well! Thanks so much for sharing this delicious recipe with all of us! I truly do appreciate it! Thanks again! Michele 🙂

October 28, 2013 at 8:08 AMAnything with basil and cilantro has to be good! I have lots of basil growing in my backyard right now, and i think i might even have some frozen mango,
Seth says
October 22, 2013 at 11:22 AMI haven’t even considering putting mango into a soup thing like this. Looks great! I wonder if Thai restaurants serve this…

May 30, 2013 at 3:03 PMThis is so different from anything I have ever made – and it has mango which I love. I am out to buy the ingredients tomorrow and may try it with tofu instead of chicken, though.

Debby Chandler says
April 19, 2013 at 12:41 PMI don’t have mango, I wonder if I could use another fruit like pineapple or mandarin orange slices.
poweredbymom says

April 18, 2013 at 10:24 AMSounds tasty. I’m always looking for new ways to cook chicken. The color contrast is nice.
Mikki Cross says
April 14, 2013 at 3:12 PMI’ve had something similar but the red pepper flakes weren’t “optional” I think they used another hot sauce though. It was delicious. I didn’t think I’d like it but I didn’t want to offend our hosts so I put on my game face and ate. The mixture of coconut, mango and lime was a real taste treat. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I may even have to try and make it myself one of these days. Thanks.

thanks for the recipe…….it would be great over quinoa as well!

lisa says
April 1, 2013 at 10:56 AMI’m sure it’s good. I’m not that adventurous. If there’s something that could be used in place of fish sauce I’d probably try it.
Michelle says
April 1, 2013 at 11:20 AMYou can skip the fish sauce Lisa but it doesn’t require much and there’s no fishy taste 😉
