Stir-fry chicken with lime and coconut milk

Stir-fry chicken with lime and coconut milk

If you are put off cooking because of all the tedious preparation most recipes require, try this very fast and simple recipe. It only requires you to chop the chilli (and remove the seeds). The spring onions can be cut up using scissors and you can roughly tear up the coriander leaves with your hands. It's ready in minutes and, at only 3g of fat per portion, there couldn't be a healthier way to start the New Year.
