Instructions

Step 1

Prep the chicken and lime first. Place the chicken, lime zest and juice in a bowl and allow to marinate (ideally for an hour or so). Then prep all the other ingredients as this dish comes together really quickly!

Step 2

In a large wok or frying pan (medium to high heat), heat the oil and stir fry the chicken pieces until nicely golden brown on the outside (you may have to do this in batches).

Step 3

Add the pale parts of the spring onions (keeping the dark green parts for later), stir fry for a minute or two, followed by the prawns, chilli, coconut milk, fish sauce, chopped coriander stalks and any lime juices left from the marinade.

Step 4

Simmer (with no lid) on a low/medium heat until the chicken has cooked through, usually takes about 5-8 minutes.
