Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into pieces
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon turmeric
- 1 cup carrots, sliced
- ½ cup frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
Instructions
- Sauté the aromatics – Start by heating olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for about 3–4 minutes until soft and fragrant. Stir in the garlic and ginger, letting them cook for another minute.
- Cook the chicken – Add the chicken pieces to the pot. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, paprika, and turmeric. Stir occasionally while the chicken cooks until lightly browned on the outside.
- Add rice and liquids – Stir the jasmine rice into the pot so it coats in the flavorful oil and spices. Pour in the chicken broth and coconut milk.
- Simmer the rice – Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes.
- Add vegetables – Stir in the sliced carrots and frozen peas. Continue cooking for another 5–7 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the rice is fully cooked.
- Finish with fresh flavor – Turn off the heat and stir in chopped cilantro and lime juice.
