Ingredients

Scale

Broth and Chicken

  • 4 cups Chicken broth
  • 1 can Coconut milk
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 inch Ginger, grated
  • 1 pound Boneless chicken thighs
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric
  • 2 stalks Green onions, chopped (for topping)
  • 1/4 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • 2 pieces Lime wedges (for serving)

Rice

  • 1 cup Long-grain white rice or jasmine rice

Instructions

  1. Sauté aromatics: Melt coconut oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until fragrant and softened.
  2. Prepare broth: Stir together curry powder, turmeric, chicken broth, coconut milk, salt, and black pepper in the pot with aromatics, mixing well to combine all flavors.
  3. Simmer chicken: Add boneless chicken thighs to the broth, cover the pot, and simmer gently for about 20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  4. Cook rice: Meanwhile, cook jasmine rice separately according to package instructions to ensure fluffy, separate grains.
  5. Slice chicken: Remove the cooked chicken thighs from the broth and slice them into bite-sized pieces.
  6. Assemble bowls: Place cooked jasmine rice in serving bowls, top with sliced chicken, and ladle the rich coconut broth over the top.
  7. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle chopped green onions and cilantro over the bowls and add lime wedges on the side for squeezing fresh juice, enhancing the flavors.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken breasts for thighs but ensure not to overcook to maintain tenderness.
  • Adjust curry powder amount to your spice preference, starting with less if you prefer mild flavors.
  • Use jasmine rice for the best fragrance and texture, but any long-grain white rice will work.
  • Adding a splash of fish sauce or lime juice can enhance depth and tanginess if desired.
  • Leftover broth can be refrigerated and used as a flavorful base for soups or stews within 2 days.
