INDONESIAN COCONUT RICE WITH CHICKEN AND ZUCCHINI image

Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons cooking oil
8 chicken thighs
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
1 large onion, cut into thin slices
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 cups long-grain rice
1 (13.5 ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk
1 3/4 cups water
1 pound zucchini, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/3 cup chopped cilantro (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. In a large deep frying pan or Dutch oven, heat the cooking oil over moderately high heat. Sprinkle the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Put the chicken in the pan and brown well on both sides, about 8 minutes in all. Remove. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the fat. Reduce the heat to moderately low. 2. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the coriander, cumin, rice, and the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. 3. Stir in the coconut milk and the water. Add the chicken and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook over low heat, stirring the rice two or three times, until the rice and chicken are almost done, about 20 minutes. Stir in the zucchini, cover, and cook until done, about 7 minutes longer. Stir the lemon juice and cilantro into the rice.

Overall, I thought this recipe was good. The chicken and zucchini were cooked perfectly, and the coconut rice was flavorful. However, I would make a few changes to the recipe next time I make it.

I found the rice to be a bit dry. I would recommend adding more coconut milk or water to the recipe.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less chili peppers or omitting them altogether.

I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but I really enjoyed this dish. The coconut flavor was subtle and not overpowering.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also like that it's a one-pot meal, which makes cleanup easy.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some cooked chicken breast in the fridge, and this dish was the perfect way to use it up. The coconut rice was also a nice change from plain white rice.
