Instructions
Creating this Coconut Chicken Rice Bowl is easy when you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Rice: Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
2. Cook the Rice: In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, and chicken broth. Bring it to a boil, then reduce to low heat. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
3. Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
4. Add Vegetables: Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and chopped bell peppers to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
5. Season: Stir in the curry powder and soy sauce. Mix until everything is well-coated and heated through.
6. Incorporate Broccoli: Add the broccoli florets and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
7. Combine: When the rice is done, fluff it with a fork. Serve the chicken and vegetable mixture over the coconut rice.
8. Garnish: Optionally, garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges for an extra zing of flavor.
