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)

Instructions
- Begin by marinating the chicken with salt, pepper, and a splash of soy sauce for at least 15 minutes.

- Add the marinated chicken to the pot, cooking until it’s golden brown all over.

- Prepare the rice in a separate pot by rinsing it, then cooking it in coconut milk for added flavor.
