Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken thigh cutlets
  • 1 red onion sliced
  • 1 bunch coriander roots and stems for cooking, leaves for garnish
  • 1 chilli sliced (optional)
  • 1 tbsp crushed garlic
  • 1 tbsp crushed ginger
  • 2 cups rice
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 2 limes sliced
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 2 tbsp fish sauce

Method
 

  1. Season your chicken with salt and pepper. Heat a little oil in a pan and place the chicken skin side down. Cook until golden brown, then remove from the pan.
  2. In the same pan, add the onion, garlic, ginger, coriander roots and stems, chilli, and rice. Cook for about a minute.
  3. Pour in the coconut milk, chicken stock, and add the sliced limes.
  4. Nestle the chicken back into the pan on top of the rice mixture.
  5. Once the liquid starts to boil, reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid.
  6. Cook for 15 minutes. Check to ensure the rice is done. If not, let it cook for a few more minutes.
  7. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and a squeeze of extra lime juice for that extra zing. Enjoy this tropical delight! 🌴🍋
