A Little Love Letter

You know when a meal just works? This is one of those. Creamy coconut rice sets the stage, topped with juicy chicken glazed in a sticky-sweet soy passionfruit sauce, then brightened with a zesty gremolata. Crunchy raw veggies bring freshness, and the whole thing gets drizzled with a rich, nutty satay sauce that ties it all together. It’s sweet, savory, spicy, creamy, and fresh all at once.

This is one of those meals that somehow tastes even better when eaten straight from the bowl, curled up on the couch. But if you want to serve it up nicely, layer the coconut rice first, then slice the glazed chicken on top. Scatter over the crunchy veggies, drizzle with satay sauce, and finish with a generous spoonful of gremolata. Extra lime wedges? Never a bad idea. If you’re feeling fancy, a sprinkle of toasted peanuts seals the deal.

Leftovers? Lucky you. Store the components separately in airtight containers. Chicken, rice, and veggies will last up to 3 days in the fridge. Reheat the rice and chicken gently, then assemble fresh. Satay sauce thickens when cold, so warm it slightly before drizzling. Pro tip: the gremolata is best fresh.

Instructions

  1. Rinse the jasmine rice thoroughly until the water runs clear. Add it to a pot with coconut milk and water, then cook until tender.
  2. In a bowl, mix peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, lime juice, coconut milk, and water. Press in a garlic clove, season with chili powder, stir well, and set aside.
  3. In another small bowl, mix soy sauce, passionfruit purée, brown sugar, finely chopped ginger, finely chopped half of a fresh chili, and a pressed garlic clove. Set aside.
  4. Finely chop the parsley and cilantro leaves. Cut open a fresh passionfruit and scoop the pulp, including seeds, into a shallow dish. Mix with lime juice, a pressed garlic clove, the remaining finely chopped chili, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  5. Slice the white cabbage and red onion into very thin strips. Use a vegetable peeler to create wide cucumber ribbons.
  6. Preheat the oven to 175°C / 350°F. Heat avocado oil in a large pan and sear the chicken breasts on all sides until golden brown.

Transfer the chicken to a plate and place it in the oven until it reaches 76°C / 170°F.
  7. Discard excess fat from the pan, then pour in the prepared glaze. Remove the chicken from the oven, slice it into strips, and toss it in the glaze until fully coated.
  8. Divide the coconut rice into two bowls, top with the glazed chicken and fresh veggies. Finish with satay sauce and passionfruit gremolata. For extra flavor, garnish with chopped peanuts, fresh cilantro, sliced chili, and a lime wedge.

EVERY RECIPE DESERVES

A Little Love Letter

This is the kind of meal that feels like a warm hug, but, like, an effortlessly cool one. Tender chicken, slow-simmered in a rich, creamy tomato-coconut sauce packed with warm spices and just the right amount of heat. It’s bold and deep in flavor, but then? Enter the tangy, tropical yogurt that balances it all out, plus fluffy, garlicky naan to scoop up every last drop. It’s cozy, it’s indulgent, and honestly, it just hits different.

The key here is layering flavors. Start with a generous spoonful of the rich, velvety sauce, pile on the juicy, spice-kissed chicken, and finish with a drizzle of the bright, citrusy yogurt. And the naan? It’s non-negotiable. Tear, dip, repeat. This dish is best served fresh, straight from the pot, but if you want to go all out, a side of fluffy basmati rice wouldn’t hurt. Bonus points if you add a sprinkle of fresh herbs before serving.

Store the chicken and sauce together in an airtight container for up to two days in the fridge. The naan keeps best wrapped in foil at room temp for a day or in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to keep things soft and saucy.

Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • stand mixer
  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • large pan

Ingredients

Units Scale
BASE SAUCE
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 2 red onions
  • 400 grams tomatoes
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
  • 1/2 tsp cardamom powder
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 tsp cloves powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tbsp ginger, grated
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 tsp dried chili flakes
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 250 milliliter vegetable stock
COCONUT SAUCE
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp mustard seeds
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 200 grams coconut milk
CHICKEN
  • 400 grams boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 tbsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
TOPPINGS
  • lime juice
  • fresh cilantro
  • 2 tbsp yogurt
  • 2 tbsp passionfruit purée

Instructions

  1. Start by preparing the chili lime garlic naan according to this recipe, up to Step 4. Once 40 minutes of resting time have passed, proceed with Step 2 of this recipe.
  2. Finely dice the onions and tomatoes, keeping them separate.
  3. Coat the chicken in turmeric (gloves recommended, as turmeric stains easily). Heat avocado oil in a large pan and sear the chicken on both sides. It doesn’t need to be fully cooked yet, as it will finish simmering in the sauce. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  4. In the remaining oil, add ground cinnamon, cardamom, black pepper, and ground cloves. Toast briefly until fragrant. Add the diced onions and a bay leaf, season generously with salt, and let them soften. Meanwhile, peel and finely chop the ginger and garlic, then add them to the pan. Let everything cook down gently.
  5. Once softened, add coriander powder, chili powder, and cayenne pepper, toasting briefly. Stir in tomato paste and diced tomatoes, then pour in vegetable broth. Cover with a lid and let it simmer until the tomatoes break down. Transfer everything to a blender and blend until smooth. Keep the mixture in the blender while reheating the pan.
  6. Continue preparing the naan from Step 5 to Step 6, allowing the dough to rest for another 10-15 minutes.
  7. Heat more avocado oil in the pan and toast ground cumin and mustard seeds until they start popping. Add pressed garlic, turmeric, and garam masala, stirring until fragrant. Pour in the coconut milk and mix well. Then, return the blended tomato mixture to the pan, stirring until combined. Add the seared chicken, cover with a lid, and bring to a simmer.
  8. Once simmering, remove the lid and stir in more garam masala and a splash of lime juice. Optionally, add a tablespoon of butter for extra richness. Let everything simmer over medium heat for another 20 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked.
  9. While the dish simmers, complete the naan recipe from Step 7 onward, so it’s freshly served.
  10. Remove the pan from the heat and top the chicken with yogurt, passionfruit purée, and fresh cilantro. Serve with warm naan and enjoy!

Chili Lime Garlic Naan Bread

EVERY RECIPE DESERVES

A Little Love Letter

Somehow, warm, buttery flatbread just makes life better. This one is extra special: soft, fluffy, brushed with melted butter, garlic, chili, fresh herbs, and a hit of lime zest for that unexpected, almost-too-good touch. It’s got that perfect balance of richness, freshness, and just a little spice, making it dangerously easy to eat. Whether you’re scooping up curry, using it as a base for something wild, or just eating it straight up, this one’s a keeper.

This one is best served straight from the pan. Warm, pillowy, and soaked in that garlicky, buttery goodness. It’s the perfect sidekick to just about anything: curries, dips, grilled meats, or even a fancy little cheese plate. But let’s be honest, it’s also pretty great just by itself. Tear it, fold it, dunk it. No rules here.

If, by some miracle, you have leftovers, wrap them in foil and store at room temp for a day or in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat in a dry pan or warm oven for that fresh-off-the-stove feel.

Chili Lime Garlic Naan


  • Author: Kimberly
  • Total Time: 90 min

Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • stand mixer
  • small bowl
  • large bowl
  • plastic wrap

Ingredients

Units Scale
DOUGH
  • 300 grams pizza flour (or any flour that contains at least 12g protein per 100g)
  • 1 tsp dry active yeast
  • 1/2 tsp white sugar
  • 125 milliliters lukewarm water
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp yogurt
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
GLAZE
  • 1-2 tbsp butter, melted
  • fresh chili
  • zest of 1 lime
  • fresh parsley
  • 2 garlic cloves

Instructions

  1. Add the dry yeast to lukewarm water, stir in the sugar, and let it sit for a few minutes until it becomes foamy and bubbles form.
  2. In the stand mixer, combine the flour with salt, yogurt, and avocado. Once the yeast mixture is ready, pour it in and knead everything into a smooth dough. It should be slightly sticky but not cling to your fingers or the bowl.
  3. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured bowl, dust the top with a little flour, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let it rest in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
  4. While the dough is rising, finely chop a fresh chili and the parsley leaves. Mix them in a bowl with the zest of one lime and two pressed garlic cloves. Set this mixture aside—melted butter will be added later.
  5. Once the dough has risen, divide it into six equal pieces, shape them into balls, and let them rest under a damp towel for another 15 minutes.
  6. In the meantime, heat a cast-iron skillet until it’s very hot.
  7. Roll out each dough ball into a thin, flat round. Cook in the dry, hot skillet for about 2 minutes per side until bubbles form and the bread is fully cooked.
  8. Stir the melted butter into the prepared chili-lime-garlic mixture.
  9. Remove the naan from the pan, brush each one with the flavored butter using a pastry brush, and stack them on top of each other.
  10. Either keep the naan warm in the oven or cover them with a towel until ready to serve.

EVERY RECIPE DESERVES

A Little Love Letter

If you’re looking for tacos that actually hit to spot, this is the one. Smoky, spicy shrimp caramelized in a honey mustard butter glaze, crisp cabbage slaw tossed with fresh passionfruit and lime, all tucked into warm tortillas. It’s the perfect balance of heat, sweetness, and freshness. This is not your basic taco night, this is tropical and vibrant.

These tacos are best served fresh, straight off the pan, while the shrimp are still warm and juicy. A chilled margarita or a sparkling lime soda? Absolute game-changer. And if you’re feeling extra, a drizzle of extra honey mustard glaze over the top seals the deal. Tacos this good deserve to be the main event.

Shrimp are best eaten fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them separately in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one day. Reheat gently in a pan to keep them from drying out. The slaw can last a day, but keep the dressing separate until serving.
