THAI COCONUT CHICKEN AND RICE



Thai Coconut Chicken and Rice image

I always get the coconut chicken soup when I go to a Thai restaurant. I love the combination of flavors! This is a dish that can be served over white or basmati rice or made thinner by adding additional chicken broth and turned into a soup. Add some paper thin sliced mushrooms and scallions at last minute if you're making the soup. This is also really good with shrimp. Do watch that red curry paste, though- it's spicy!!!

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

Hot sauce, for serving

Arrange chicken on top, add any accumulated juices from the plate and bring to a boil over high.

COCONUT CHICKEN CURRY



Coconut Chicken Curry image

After experimenting, this is my adaptation of coconut chicken curry. Others ended up either too tangy, too tomato-like, or too lemony. This is what I feel better represents the sweet and savory flavor you get in a restaurant. I use generous amounts of sugar, cinnamon, and some butter, so if you plan on making this often you might want to try some of the others since mine is packed with the best stuff on earth that is worst for you! But it tastes so good!

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.

BAKED CURRY CHICKEN WITH A SIDE OF COCONUT RICE



Baked Curry Chicken With a Side of Coconut Rice image

These two recipes are from two cookbooks that I own (the curry chicken from "Cooking Jewish" by Judy Bart Kancigor, and the coconut rice from "The Joy of Cooking" cookbook), except that I made a few substitutions, and I have figured out how our family likes these. I usually open a can or two of green beans, and I just heat those up to serve with this, but any veggie would be nice.

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6-8 ounces each)
1/4 cup butter (4 Tablespoons)
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons dry mustard
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons curry powder (mild or hot, whatever you prefer)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk (I have used fat free regular milk instead at times, and it worked fine-just not coconut-y)
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup jasmine rice
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sweetened coconut, shredded and toasted

Steps:

  • Grease a 9x9 baking pan with cooking spray, and set aside. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer in the baking pan.
  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the honey, mustard, dry mustard, garlic, lemon juice, curry powder, and salt, stirring until smooth.
  • Pour about 2/3 of the sauce over the chicken. Cover the pan with aluminum foil, and bake for 10 minutes,.
  • Then, uncover and baste with sauce. Continue baking, uncovered, basting occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Once you put the chicken in the oven, start the rice.
  • Combine the coconut milk, water, rice, ginger, and salt in a medium saucepan, and bring to a boil.
  • Once it boils, reduce the heat to a very low heat (like simmer) until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 20 minutes.
  • A few minutes before serving the rice, stir in the toasted coconut.
