Instructions

Marinate chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C or 200°C fan bake. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Pat chicken dry and dice into 2cm pieces. Place in a large bowl, along with curry paste. Toss to combine and leave to marinate for 2-3 mins.

Cook rice

  1. In a large pot over high heat add rice and the first measure of water. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium or medium-low and cover. Simmer for 10 mins, add the peas to the rice, and fluff with a fork to combine. Cook a further 2 mins, or until water is absorbed.

Prep chicken

  1. Add flour to bowl with chicken and toss to coat well. Add egg to the same bowl. Use a fork to split the egg yolk and toss to coat the chicken in the egg mixture. In a separate shallow bowl combine breadcrumbs and desiccated coconut. Place handfuls of chicken into the crumbs and turn to coat each piece of chicken well. Spread the chicken out in a single layer on the prepared baking tray.

Cook chicken

  1. Cook chicken in the upper oven, for 10-12 mins, until cooked through and golden brown. Season to taste with salt.

Make salad

  1. Peel and dice the avocado. Dice the cucumber. Roughly chop the coriander, discarding the stems. In a large bowl toss together avocado, cucumber, mung bean sprouts and coriander.

To serve

  1. Divide the pea rice between plates. Top with the avocado and cucumber salad then the Thai coconut chicken. Serve with the kewpie mayo on the side and sprinkle over a pinch of chilli flakes (if using).
