Ingredients:
4 cup medium coconut milk
1 1/2 cup chicken stock
3 qt pieces dried galangal (kha), or
6 qt pieces fresh galangal
4 stalks fresh lemon grass, bruised,, cut into 2-inch l
6 fresh serrano chiles, sliced into r, ounds
1 large whole chicken breast *
4 tbsp fish sauce (nam pla)
5 fresh kaffir lime leaves (makrut),, if available
2 fresh limes, juice
2 tbsp chopped coriander leaves
Instructions:
* cut into 1/2-inch pieces (with or without bones, see note)
Combine coconut milk, chicken stock, galangal, lemon grass and 4 of
the chiles in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for
20 minutes. Strain stock; discard galangal and lemon grass. Return
stock to a boil, add chicken and simmer until tender, about 2
minutes. Add fish sauce, citrus leaves and remaining chiles. Stir in
the lime juice. Garnish with coriander.
Serves 6 to 8.
NOTE: I like to use boned chicken breast if I'm cooking for guests.
For the best flavor, however, use a whole small chicken chopped into
small pieces with the bones; increase the cooking time until chicken
is tender.

Chicken is ideal
for weight loss
and dieting
Healthy eating is far better than strict dieting, and weight loss achieved by a change of lifestyle lasts far longer than 'faddy' diets that are difficult to adopt for long periods.
Cooking more low fat chicken can enable you to lose weight gradually as part of a a controlled and healthy diet.
