– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
– 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
– 1 cup jasmine rice
– 2 cups chicken broth
– 1 red bell pepper, sliced
– 1 cup snap peas, trimmed

– 1 teaspoon ginger, grated

– Fresh cilantro, for garnish


Instructions

Creating the Easy Coconut Chicken Rice Bowl Recipe is simple when you follow these steps:

1. Cook the Rice: In a medium saucepan, combine jasmine rice and chicken broth. Bring it to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice is fluffy.

2. Prepare the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

3. Add Aromatics: Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

4. Incorporate Vegetables: Add the sliced red bell pepper and snap peas to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

5. Create the Sauce: Pour in the coconut milk and soy sauce. Stir to combine and let it simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

6. Finish with Lime: Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture, stirring to enhance the flavor.

7. Assemble the Bowls: Serve the coconut chicken mixture over a bed of jasmine rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro for an extra burst of flavor.
