A comforting bowl of Coconut Chicken Rice made with creamy coconut milk, tender chicken, and fragrant jasmine rice, perfect for any family meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 pound chicken breast, diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until they turn translucent and fragrant.
  2. Brown the Chicken: Add the diced chicken to the pan, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides, sealing in those delicious juices.
  3. Mix in the Rice: Stir in the jasmine rice, followed by the coconut milk and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  4. Let It Cook: Cover the pan and reduce the heat to low, allowing it to cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
  5. Add the Bell Pepper: Fold in the chopped red bell pepper and cook for an additional 2 minutes, letting it warm through.
  6. Serve with Style: Serve the rice bowl hot, garnished with freshly chopped cilantro and lime wedges on the side for that perfect zesty finish.
