Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup unsweetened light coconut milk, divided
1/2 cup sweet chili sauce, plus more for dipping
1 lime
salt and pepper
1-1/2 lbs chicken breasts
1 medium-sized head cauliflower, grated (6-8 cups)
1-1/2 Tablespoons coconut oil
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

  • Combine 1/2 cup coconut milk, sweet chili sauce and the juice of 1/2 lime in a large Ziplock bag. Add salt and pepper then squish to combine. Add chicken breasts then marinate for 30 minutes - 1 hour in the refrigerator. Preheat grill to medium-high, making sure grates are well greased. Grill chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes on the first side, then 3-4 minutes on the second side, depending on how big they are and how well done you like them. Remove to a plate to rest for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, heat coconut oil in a very large skillet over medium/medium-high heat (6 out of 10.) Add cauliflower, season liberally with salt and pepper, and then saute until tender, 5-7 minutes. Squeeze in juice from remaining lime half then add 3-4 Tablespoons coconut milk, depending on how coconutty you want it. Add cilantro then stir to combine. Taste then add salt and pepper if necessary. Scoop onto plates then top with chicken and serve with extra sweet chili sauce for dipping.

Tips:

  • Use fresh coconut milk. Fresh coconut milk is essential for making the best sweet coconut rice. It has a richer flavor and a creamier texture than canned coconut milk.
  • Soak the rice before cooking. Soaking the rice for at least 30 minutes before cooking helps to remove the starch and makes the rice more tender.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot. A heavy-bottomed pot will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the rice from burning.
  • Cook the rice over low heat. Cooking the rice over low heat will help to prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Stir the rice frequently. Stirring the rice frequently will help to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Add the coconut milk and sugar at the end of cooking. Adding the coconut milk and sugar at the end of cooking will help to preserve their flavor and prevent them from curdling.
  • Serve the rice warm or cold. Sweet coconut rice can be served warm or cold. It is a delicious dessert or snack.
