Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts

  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish


Instructions

  2. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add to the pot, cooking until browned.
  3. Pour in coconut milk and bring to a simmer.
  4. Add jasmine rice to the pot, stir well, cover, and cook on low heat until rice is tender and has absorbed the coconut milk (about 15-20 minutes).
