Whip up some Southeast Asian fare with chicken breast, baked to perfection in a fragrant coconut and mild sambal sauce. Serve this tender chicken over quick microwavable rice with a healthy side of steamed Asian greens, then top with fresh coriander and extra sambal for a flavour-packed kick.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Start the chicken bake
1
  • Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. In a baking dish, combine chicken breasts, mild sambal seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Cover tightly with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
Finish the chicken bake
2
  • Remove from oven, remove foil, turn chicken and spoon over any juices.
  • Stir in ginger paste and coconut milk until combined.
  • Return to oven, bake, uncovered, until chicken is golden brown and cooked through, 15-20 minutes.

TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.

Steam the veggies & the rice
3
  • When the chicken has 10 minutes remaining, slice Asian greens into quarters lengthways.
  • Add Asian greens and a splash of water to a microwave-safe bowl, then cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave on high until just tender, 2-3 minutes. Drain, then return to the bowl and cover to keep warm. 
  • Microwave basmati rice until steaming, 2-3 minutes.
Finish & serve
4
  • Divide instant rice, coconut sambal baked chicken breasts and steamed greens between bowls. Slice chicken if preferred. 
  • Spoon sauce from the baking dish over the chicken. Dollop over sambal before garnishing with coriander. SPICY! This sauce is hot, use less if you're sensitive to heat!
  • Tear over coriander (including stalk!) to serve. Enjoy!
