Rancho Loco Brazilian Chicken Breast with Coconut Milk Sauce and Smashed Brussel Sprouts

The_Stache

So I was thinking I need to do something with Chicken and Turmeric and started with a recipe for Brazilian Chicken with some modifications for "The Allergic/Sensitive One" AKA SWMBO...

Chicken Breast crusted with Turmeric, Cumin and Mortar and Pestle Ground Coriander (yes, @caliking, Bloomed in a hot pan before combining) ... Normal cook for the chicken on the MM....

Meanwhile back in the kitchen... Smashed Brussel Sprout with garlic, pecorino and parmesan cheese (par-Boil, ice bath, Smash, Bake)

And a couple of sauces... For SWMBO (No Tomato, no Jalapeno,) Onion, Garlic, Ginger and Coconut Milk....

Ooops... no picture...

For the rest of us, sauce with Onion, Garlic, Ginger, Jalapeno, Seeded Tomato and Coconut Milk

After breasts (Chicken for you lame thinkers) reached 165... Pulled and Sliced...

Sauced and served to SWMBO...

(NOTE the light colored sauce... )

Sliced and served to me:

Overall... pretty darned good for not knowing what I was doing!

Enjoy!

PS... cooked Salmon on the MM last night so verified that either there was no STANK or it added to the flavors of the chicken!

Dude. I hope you have some leftovers. En route.

@bgebrent - Thanks, man!

Adam... no leftovers for you and your stanky car!

caliking

Oh damnn. That's a nice plate.

I realized relatively recently (in the last few years ) what a difference toasting whole spices makes.

And I've been on a coriander kick these past few months, so I may be stealing this

The_Stache

@caliking you're welcome to the recipe... I stole it from somewhere!

(Because of wife's food intolerances I couldn't for this batch but I would suggest adding some pepper spice element to the chicken rub to give it a bit more kick!!)

Pretty cool! And you are wise to follow calikings advice on handling spices.

There’s something I never thought I’d read. 

Great cook.

Of course you cook something like this while I am in California. Otherwise, in 2.5 hours I would be ringing your doorbell, unexpectedly.
Beautiful cook sir.
