Ingredients
  

For the Chicken and Rice Bowl

  • 2 cups jasmine rice Rinse under cold water until clear.
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 1 can coconut milk (13.5 oz)
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil For cooking.
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced Fresh or ground.
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari For gluten-free option.
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • Fresh cilantro or green onions for garnish

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, 2 cups of chicken broth, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender.
  • Remove from heat and set aside.

Cooking

  • In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until it starts to soften.
  • Introduce the minced garlic and ginger, stirring for another minute.
  • Add the diced chicken to the skillet. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and curry powder as it cooks, approximately 6-8 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked.
  • Pour in the can of coconut milk and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce (or tamari). Stir until everything is well-combined.
  • Allow it to simmer for 5-10 minutes, letting the flavors meld. Cook longer for a thicker sauce if desired.

Assembly

  • Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and divide it between serving bowls.
  • Spoon the coconut chicken mixture over the rice.

Serving

  • Finish your Coconut Chicken Rice Bowl with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro or sliced green onions. Enjoy while warm!

Notes

For best flavor, adjust the curry powder to your taste. Add red pepper flakes for extra spice. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of water or extra coconut milk.
