STICKY COCONUT CHICKEN AND RICE



Sticky Coconut Chicken and Rice image

This comforting one-pot chicken dish features fragrant coconut rice infused with aromatic ginger, garlic and scallion, and studded with toasty cashews. The cashews soften as the rice steams, adding subtle nuttiness to the dish. Chicken thighs absorb the coconut milk as they cook, which keeps the meat tender and juicy. Fresh chopped cilantro brightens the dish, while hot sauce adds nice heat and tang to balance the creamy, rich and slightly sweet rice.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, each thigh cut into 2 equal-size pieces
1/4 cup neutral oil, such as safflower or canola
2 teaspoons kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 1/2 cups short-grain white rice, rinsed until water runs clear
1 3/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 (13.5-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
1 yellow bell pepper, cored, seeded and chopped (½-inch pieces)
1/2 cup roasted cashews, coarsely chopped
3 scallions, green and white parts, thinly sliced (½ packed cup)
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped cilantro
Hot sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Rub chicken with 1 tablespoon of oil, and season with 1 teaspoon of salt and ¼ teaspoon of pepper.
  • In a large Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium. Working in two batches, brown chicken, turning halfway, until no longer pink, around 5 minutes per batch. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, the ginger and the garlic to the empty pot, and stir until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add rice and stir until evenly coated in the oil. Add broth, coconut milk, bell pepper, cashews, scallions and the remaining 1 teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Stir to lift up any browned bits on the bottom of the pot. Arrange chicken on top, add any accumulated juices from the plate and bring to a boil over high.
  • Cover and bake until all of the liquid is absorbed, rice is tender and chicken is cooked through, 25 minutes. Scatter cilantro over the chicken and rice, then divide among bowls. Serve with hot sauce.

COCONUT CHICKEN



Coconut Chicken image

I couldn't find a recipe for coconut chicken that is typically served at a Chinese buffet, so I made my own. This is baked, not fried. I like to serve this with rice and edamame. My husband and picky 2 year old love this!

Time 3h50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk, divided
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into strips
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1 cup panko bread crumbs
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 egg, beaten
½ cup reduced-fat mayonnaise

Steps:

  • Pour half the coconut milk, the garlic, soy sauce, and lime juice into a resealable plastic zipper bag, and shake to thoroughly combine the marinade. Place the chicken strips into the bag, squeeze several times to coat the chicken with marinade, and refrigerate at least 3 hours. Reserve the rest of the coconut milk.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and grease with olive oil.
  • Place the shredded coconut into a blender or food processor and pulse several times until the coconut is ground into crumbs. Mix it with panko crumbs, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Place the flour into a second bowl, and the egg into a third shallow bowl. Shake excess marinade from chicken strips, and dip them into the flour to thoroughly coat; then dip into egg, and finally into the coconut crumb mixture. Place the coated strips onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake the chicken strips in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
  • Mix the reserved coconut milk and mayonnaise in a small saucepan, and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat; serve the sauce drizzled over the chicken strips or on the side for dipping.

Categories     Main Dish

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

Vegetable oil for frying
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 tsp cayenne pepper {optional}
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 - 4 cups of sweetened coconut flakes (Baker's Coconut)
3 - 4 medium boneless, skinless, chicken breasts, cut into strips or nuggets.

Steps:

  • In a medium pot, add 2 - 3 Inches of oil. Turn burner to medium and allow oil to get nice and hot. The perfect temperature should be 365*F

  • Then dip into eggs and cover well.
  • Then dip in coconut and set aside on a plate. Do this to all chicken.
  • Once chicken is ready, check oil. Place the end of a wooden spoon in the oil. If bubbles form around the spoon the oil is ready. If bubbles do not form around the spoon then the oil is not hot enough.
  • Once oil is hot enough, GENTLY add chicken one piece at a time to oil, ensuring chicken does not touch and stick together upon initial contact into oil.
  • Cook chicken for approximately 4 minutes then flip and allow the other side to cook.
  • Cook second side for an additional approximate 4 minutes.
  • Gently remove golden chicken and set on a paper towel lined plate.
  • Cook chicken in batches if all does not fit into pan.
  • Once all chicken is cooked, serve with your favorite sauce.
