Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups jasmine rice
  • 1 1/2 cups coconut milk
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup sugar snap peas
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice, coconut milk, and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Turn off heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 10 minutes.
  2. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until golden brown on all sides and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the soy sauce, fish sauce, and brown sugar to the skillet. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
  5. Add the red bell pepper, sugar snap peas, and shredded carrots to the sauce. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to coat the chicken with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  7. Fluff the cooked coconut rice and divide it among serving bowls. Top with the coconut chicken and vegetables.
  8. Sprinkle fresh cilantro over each bowl and serve with lime wedges on the side.

Notes

  • Adjust the spice level by adding chili flakes if desired.
  • This dish can be made ahead of time and reheated before serving.
  • For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken with tofu or a mix of your favorite vegetables.
