A comforting dish that combines tender chicken with a rich coconut sauce served over fluffy rice, reminiscent of tropical vacations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
  • 2 cups cooked rice (jasmine, basmati, or brown rice)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (or coconut oil)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro or green onions, for garnish
  • Optional: sliced avocado, lime wedges, hot sauce for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about one minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the coconut milk, soy sauce, and lime juice. Bring to a gentle simmer and let thicken for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Cook rice according to package instructions. Serve the creamy chicken over the rice, garnished with cilantro or green onions. Add optional toppings like sliced avocado or hot sauce as desired.

Notes

For best results, use fresh ingredients, consider marinating the chicken, and keep the sauce at a low simmer to maintain creaminess.
