Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the shallots, garlic, turmeric, ginger, and galangal. Set aside.

Step 2

Bruise the lemongrass stalk by gently crushing it, then slice it into 3-inch pieces.

Step 3

In a blender or mortar and pestle, combine the chopped shallots, garlic, turmeric, ginger, and galangal to make a paste.

Heat the coconut oil in a large saucepan over medium heat, add the spice paste, and sauté until fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.

Add the lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, bird's eye chilies, and bay leaves to the pan. Stir well to combine with the paste.

Step 6

Pour in the coconut milk, palm sugar, coriander, cumin, and black pepper. Stir to ensure all ingredients are well mixed.

Step 7

Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.

Step 8

Add the chicken breasts to the pan, ensuring they are immersed in the sauce. Pour in the water.

Step 9

Cover the pan and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
