Main Ingredients
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 1 can (13.5 oz) Coconut milk
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 inch Ginger, grated
- 1 pound Boneless chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Long-grain white rice or jasmine rice
- 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Curry powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric
- 1/4 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 pieces Lime wedges
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
Instructions
- Sauté aromatics: Melt coconut oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until fragrant and slightly golden.
- Prepare broth: Stir together curry powder, turmeric, chicken broth, and coconut milk in the pot to combine all flavors evenly. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Cook chicken: Add the boneless chicken thighs to the simmering broth, season with salt and black pepper. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- Cook rice separately: While the chicken simmers, cook the jasmine rice according to package instructions until fluffy and done.
- Slice chicken: Remove the cooked chicken thighs from the broth and slice them into bite-sized pieces.
- Assemble bowls: Place a serving of cooked rice in each bowl, top with sliced chicken, and ladle warm coconut chicken broth over the top.
- Garnish and serve: Garnish each bowl with chopped green onions, fresh cilantro, and lime wedges for squeezing over before eating to add brightness and freshness.
Notes
- Use boneless, skinless chicken thighs for tender and juicy meat.
- If you prefer, cook chicken and rice together in the broth but adjust liquid proportions accordingly.
- Adjust curry powder and turmeric to your preferred spice level and color.
- For a richer flavor, sauté the spices with the garlic and ginger before adding liquids.
- Serve with extra lime wedges for added brightness.
