INSTRUCTIONS

 If serving with rice, put the rice onto cook first, then you can cook the rest of the meal whilst the rice is boiling.

Heat the oil in a large pan that has a lid, over medium-high heat. Add in the chicken and cook, turning regularly, until sealed (about 2-3 minutes).

Add the onion and continue to cook for a further 2 minutes, then stir through the ground coriander. 

Add in the peanut butter, juice of one of the limes and the stock. Stir, bring to a gentle bubble, then place the lid on and simmer for 7-8 minutes until slightly thickened. Check on it and stir a couple of times to make sure it doesn't catch.

Add in the green beans, taste and add in the remaining lime juice if needed.  Give everything a stir, and leave to cook for another 5 minutes with the lid off.  You can add a splash of water if it's starting to look too dry.

Serve with boiled rice, and sprinkle with chopped chillies (or sweet chilli jam) and coriander (cilantro).
