A flavorful coconut chicken rice bowl that’s perfect for any occasion!

  • Total Time: 45

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • for garnish fresh cilantro
  • for serving lime wedges
  • optional veggies like bell peppers, snap peas, or broccoli

Instructions

  • Start by cooking the rice. In a medium saucepan, combine jasmine rice with 1 cup of chicken broth and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender.
  • While the rice cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about a minute until fragrant.
  • Next, add the chicken thighs to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until they’re golden brown and fully cooked. Make sure the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  • Once the chicken is done, pour in the coconut milk and soy sauce. Stir to combine and let it simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste. If you’re adding veggies, toss them in at this point and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until they’re tender.
  • Serve the chicken mixture over the jasmine rice, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges. Enjoy!
