Description

A comforting dish that combines tender chicken with creamy coconut-infused rice, perfect for a quick and delicious meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
  2. Set the Instant Pot to sauté mode, add oil, and brown the chicken on both sides.
  3. Remove the chicken and set aside. In the same pot, add ginger and garlic, sautéing for a minute until fragrant.
  4. Stir in coconut milk, chicken broth, soy sauce, and jasmine rice until well combined.
  5. Place the chicken back in the pot, ensuring it is submerged in the liquid. Close the lid and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.
  6. Once the cooking time is complete, allow for a natural pressure release for 10 minutes, then manually release any remaining pressure. Fluff the rice with a fork, serve the chicken on top, and garnish with fresh cilantro.

Great for batch cooking; leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
