Description

A cozy one-pot delight combining chicken broth, coconut milk, and tender chicken thighs, perfect for family dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups Chicken broth
  • 1 can Coconut milk
  • 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1 inch Ginger (grated)
  • 1 pound Boneless chicken thighs
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1 cup Long-grain white rice
  • 2 stalks Green onions (for topping)
  • 1 tablespoon Curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric
  • 1/4 cup Fresh cilantro
  • 2 pieces Lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add a splash of oil if desired.
  2. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add the boneless chicken thighs, sprinkling with salt, black pepper, curry powder, and turmeric. Cook until starting to brown, about 4-5 minutes.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and coconut milk, stirring to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Rinse the rice under cold water until clear, then add to the pot. Stir and cover with a lid.
  6. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the broth.
  7. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Fluff the rice gently with a fork.
  8. Serve in bowls topped with green onions and cilantro, and squeeze lime over each bowl.

Notes

For extra spice, add chili peppers or red pepper flakes. For a vegetarian option, use chickpeas or tofu and vegetable broth.
