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