– 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
– 1 cup jasmine rice
– 2 cups chicken broth
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon brown sugar

Instructions

Making Coconut Chicken & Rice is easy and can be completed in just a few simple steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper.
2. Sauté Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant.
3. Brown the Chicken: Add chicken thighs to the skillet and cook until browned on both sides (about 5-7 minutes).
4. Deglaze: Pour in the soy sauce, stirring to coat the chicken and deglaze the pan.
5. Mix in Coconut Milk and Rice: Add coconut milk, chicken broth, and curry powder to the skillet. Stir in jasmine rice, bringing everything to a gentle boil.
6. Simmer: Cover the skillet and lower the heat to medium-low. Let it simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
7. Check Chicken: Ensure the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
8. Rest: Remove from heat and let the dish rest for 10 minutes before serving.
9. Garnish: Fluff the rice with a fork, then top with fresh cilantro just before serving.
10. Serve: Serve the Coconut Chicken over a bed of rice with lime wedges on the side for drizzling.
