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.

ONE-PAN COCONUT CURRY RICE WITH CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES



One-Pan Coconut Curry Rice With Chicken and Vegetables image

Baking rice is a fail-safe way to a fluffy bowl of grains - and a quick route to a fragrant, hearty dinner. Red curry paste, coconut milk and peanut butter spice the chicken, rice and vegetables in this hands-off, one-pot recipe. Chunky peanut butter adds nuttiness, crunch and creaminess all at once. Feel free to swap out the carrots and broccoli for vegetables with similar cooking times, like sweet potato or snap peas. Drizzle your red curry rice with lime-spiked coconut milk for brightness just before digging in.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (13-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
1/4 cup red curry paste
3 tablespoons crunchy peanut butter
2 tablespoons fish sauce
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
2 large carrots, peeled and thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
1 1/2 cups jasmine rice, rinsed
1 1/4 cups boiling water
1 head broccoli, thick stems discarded, florets separated (about 2 cups florets)
1 tablespoon lime juice

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees. In a 9-by-13-inch/3-quart baking pan, combine 1 cup of the coconut milk with the red curry paste, peanut butter, fish sauce and garlic; whisk until blended. Season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken and carrots, then scatter the rice over everything. Add the boiling water, seal the pan tightly with foil, and bake until the rice is just tender, about 40 minutes.
  • Remove the foil from the pan, scatter the broccoli florets over the rice, season with salt and pepper, then reseal with foil and bake for another 5 minutes, until the broccoli has steamed. Remove from the oven and let sit for 3 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, stir the lime juice into the remaining coconut milk and season with salt and pepper. Fluff the rice with a fork and stir to mix. Serve with a drizzle of coconut sauce.

Tips:

  • Use fresh coconut milk: Fresh coconut milk adds a richer, creamier flavor to the curry. If you can't find fresh coconut milk, you can use canned coconut milk, but be sure to use full-fat coconut milk for the best results.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the curry, be sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will help the curry to cook evenly and prevent it from becoming watery.
  • Simmer the curry for at least 30 minutes: Simmering the curry for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the curry, the better the flavor will be.
  • Serve the curry over sticky rice: Sticky rice is the perfect accompaniment to coconut curry. The glutinous texture of the rice helps to soak up the rich sauce and the slightly sweet flavor of the rice complements the spicy curry well.

Conclusion:

Coconut curry over sticky rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The curry is rich, creamy, and flavorful, and the sticky rice is the perfect accompaniment. If you're looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy curry, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
