Main Ingredients
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 1 can (13.5 oz) Coconut milk
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 inch Ginger, grated
- 1 lb Boneless chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Long-grain white rice (or jasmine rice)
- 1 tablespoon Curry powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric
- 2 stalks Green onions, chopped for topping
- 1/4 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 pieces Lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Sauté Aromatics: Melt coconut oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until fragrant and softened.
- Prepare Broth: Stir together chicken broth, coconut milk, curry powder, turmeric, salt, and black pepper in the pot with the aromatics, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Simmer Chicken: Add the boneless chicken thighs to the pot. Cover and simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- Cook Rice Separately: While the chicken simmers, cook the jasmine rice separately according to package instructions to ensure it is fluffy and perfectly cooked.
- Slice Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the broth and slice into bite-sized pieces.
- Assemble and Serve: Serve the sliced chicken over cooked jasmine rice in bowls, ladle the flavorful broth over the top, and garnish generously with chopped green onions, fresh cilantro, and lime wedges for a bright finish.
Notes
- You can adjust the curry powder amount to suit your preferred spice level.
- Jasmine rice is recommended for its fragrance, but any long-grain white rice works well.
- For extra richness, add a splash more coconut milk before serving.
- This recipe makes a comforting meal perfect for cooler days or when you want a nourishing one-pot dish.
- Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat nicely on the stovetop or microwave.
