Coconut Basil Chicken
58人浏览 5人收藏 1人做过
What's that you say? Creamy coconut basil sauce spiked with lime and a touch of spice? I think I'm in love. Given my deep and unabiding obsession with the mixture of basil and coconut, I would (and do!) eat this sauce on almost anything — noodles, brown rice, quinoa, veggies, and especially this slow cooker chicken breast.
Why? Well, for starters, the flavors in the sauce deepen as they cook and chicken just happens to be the perfect vehicle to absorb and capture all that flavor. Plus, there is only about 10 minutes of prep time on your part and then all the actual magic happens in the slow cooker, while you're off doing other fun things.
Side Dish and Serving Ideas
I like to serve this dish in a variety of ways:
Over rice is the most obvious choice, and the way I serve it most frequently. White, brown, wild, or even cauliflower rice will work great under or mixed into this Thai chicken dish.
You can eat this chicken all by itself or with extra veggies for a hearty stew of a meal.
There's no shame in pairing this delicious, nutritious dish with a piece of baguette, French bread, or dinner rolls.
You can shred the chicken and use tongs to help drain off some of the sauce as you add it to a hoagie roll. Top with Sriracha or another chili pepper sauce for a yummy, Thai-inspired sandwich.
Try adding the shredded chicken to a whole wheat tortilla and topping with your favorite add-ons for an Asian taco feast.
