Description

A comforting bowl of tender chicken marinated and cooked in fragrant coconut milk, served over fluffy rice with fresh vegetables.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast (or thighs)
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
  • 1 cup jasmine or basmati rice
  • 1 cup chicken broth or water
  • 2 cups fresh vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, carrots)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
  • Fresh herbs (coriander or green onions) for garnish
  • Juice of 1 lime


Instructions

  1. Begin by marinating the chicken with salt, pepper, and a splash of soy sauce for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large pot and sauté chopped vegetables until tender.
  3. Add the marinated chicken to the pot, cooking until it’s golden brown all over.
  4. Stir in coconut milk and chicken broth, simmering until the chicken is cooked through.
  5. Prepare the rice in a separate pot by rinsing it, then cooking it in coconut milk for added flavor.
  6. Serve the rice topped with the savory chicken mixture.

Notes

For an elevated taste, let the chicken marinate longer. Using high-quality coconut milk can enhance the richness of the dish.
