Ingredients
Scale
- 400 g (14.11 oz) chicken tenders
- 350 g (12.35 oz) dry farfalle pasta
- 180 ml (6.08 fl oz) coconut milk
- 180 ml (6.08 fl oz) light semi-thick cream, 4% fat
- 2 tbsps olive oil
- 2 tbsps lime juice
- 2 heaping tsps curry powder
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried coriander or a few sprigs of fresh coriander, leaves picked
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 pinches black pepper
Instructions
- Marinate: Slice chicken tenders into bite-sized pieces and coat with olive oil, lime juice, curry powder, salt, and black pepper. Let rest at room temperature for 5 minutes.
- Boil Pasta: Bring a large pot of water to a vigorous boil, seasoning generously with coarse salt. Cook pasta until perfectly al dente, then drain thoroughly in a colander.
- Sauté Aromatics: Activate multi-cooker’s high sauté function, adding olive oil. Introduce finely chopped red onion and minced garlic, cooking until onions become translucent and aromatic.
- Cook Chicken: Add marinated chicken and fresh coriander to the multi-cooker. Stir continuously, ensuring chicken is completely cooked through and no pink remains.
- Create Creamy Sauce: Switch multi-cooker to warming mode, combining cooked pasta with full-fat coconut milk and heavy cream. Gently stir until pasta is luxuriously coated with a smooth, rich sauce.
Notes
- Marinate for Maximum Flavor: Let chicken soak in lime juice and spices for at least 5 minutes to enhance taste and tenderness.
- Sauté Secrets: Cook onions and garlic until translucent to release their aromatic oils and build a robust flavor foundation.
- Pasta Perfection: Cook pasta al dente to ensure a satisfying texture that holds up beautifully in the creamy sauce.
- Creamy Coating Technique: Gently stir coconut milk and heavy cream to create a silky, luxurious sauce that evenly embraces the pasta and chicken.
