- Dry the chicken breast fillet and cut into bite-sized pieces.
- Prepare a large saucepan and mix in the coconut milk, 750ml water and 1 tbsp chicken stock and bring to the boil. Add a portion of the chili, lemon zest, galangal, cilantro stems, kaffir lime leaves and shredded chicken and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, clean and slice the mushrooms, then add them to the soup. Cook another five minutes.
