Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless chicken thighs or breasts, diced
  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
  • 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (bell peppers, peas, carrots)
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

Creating your Easy Coconut Chicken Rice Bowl is simple. Just follow these steps:

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Heat the Pot: In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced chicken and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Sauté the chicken for 5-7 minutes, or until it's cooked through and no longer pink. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  4. Add Flavor: Sprinkle the curry powder over the cooked chicken. Stir to coat the chicken evenly with the spices. Cook for an additional minute to release the flavors.
  5. Combine Rice and Liquid: Add the rinsed jasmine rice, coconut milk, and broth to the pot. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  6. Cook the Rice: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  7. Add Vegetables: During the last 5 minutes of cooking, stir in the mixed vegetables, allowing them to steam in the pot.
  8. Fluff and Serve: Remove the pot from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
  9. Garnish: Serve the bowl warm, garnished with freshly chopped cilantro for an extra pop of flavor.

With these easy-to-follow instructions, you'll have your Easy Coconut Chicken Rice Bowl ready in no time.
