Crispy Chicken Thighs with Creamy Coconut-Lime Sauce and Roasted Asparagus
Savor perfectly crispy chicken thighs paired with a velvety, tangy coconut-lime sauce and roasted asparagus for a bright and satisfying meal. The contrast between the crunchy skin and the creamy sauce elevates this dish into a well-balanced dinner option with an exciting twist.
INGREDIENTS
2 pieces Chicken Thighs (skin-on) (approx 180g total)
1/4 cup Light Coconut Milk (approx 60g)
1 Lime
150 grams Asparagus
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
Pinch of Red Chili Flakes
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and a pinch of red chili flakes. Pat the skin dry for extra crispiness.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear them for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy.
Flip the chicken and sear the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven (or move the thighs to a baking tray if your skillet isn’t oven-safe) and roast for 15-18 minutes or until fully cooked.
While the chicken is roasting, prepare the coconut-lime sauce by mixing the light coconut milk with the juice and zest of one lime and the minced garlic from one clove. Allow the sauce to sit for a few minutes to let the flavors meld.
Trim the woody ends of the asparagus and toss with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the asparagus on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 10 minutes until tender and slightly crisp.
Plate the crispy chicken thighs, drizzle with the creamy coconut-lime sauce, and serve alongside the roasted asparagus. Enjoy your balanced and flavorful meal!
