🥥 This bright coconut‑lime chicken stir‑fry delivers creamy flavor and a zing of citrus for a satisfying dinner.
🍗 Ready in just 30 minutes, it combines lean protein, crisp broccoli, and a tropical sauce for a quick weeknight meal.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4‑6 servings

Ingredients

– 1 3/4 cups full-fat coconut milk or coconut cream for base sauce

– 1/2 cup chicken stock for moisture and depth

– 2-4 Tbsp fresh lime juice, to taste for zesty kick

– 2 Tbsp honey or alternative sweetener for sweetness

– 1 Tbsp cornstarch (optional) for thickening

– 1 Tbsp freshly grated ginger for warm spicy note

– 1 stalk lemongrass, peeled and finely grated (optional) for citrusy aroma

– 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced for main protein

– Fine sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to season

– 2 Tbsp olive oil, divided for sautéing

– 2 scallions, sliced (white and green parts separated) for flavor

– 3 cloves garlic, minced for aromatic base

– 3 cups broccoli florets (approximately 300 g) for vegetables

– Chopped fresh cilantro for topping

– Thinly sliced Thai bird chilies or other hot pepper for optional heat

Instructions

1-Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round baking pan.

2-Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to mix evenly.

3-Add wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of milk, 1/2 cup of vegetable oil, and 2 large eggs until fully combined. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; do not overmix.

4-Bake the batter: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

5-Cool the cake: Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely before frosting or serving.

Notes

🌿 Use full‑fat coconut milk for a richer, creamier sauce; low‑fat versions will be thinner.
🔥 Adjust heat by adding sliced Thai bird chilies or a pinch of red‑pepper flakes for extra spice.
🥣 For meal prep, store leftovers in an airtight container; reheat gently and stir well as the sauce may separate.
