It’s another week and another delicious coconut curry chicken with rice recipe. Happy New Week to Y’all. Coconut curry chicken with rice is another way to enjoy your rice, if you love coconut definitely you’re going to love this recipe. Add curry, chicken takes the tasty to another level, it’s delicious!
This recipe requires mostly what you have at home or can source easily. For the pepper used, I used sweet peppers but you can substitute bell peppers and use any color of your choice. I used half-pound of chicken but you can use more than than that. I also toasted the rice to develop more flavor but if you don’t want to toast it is okay just add the rice but I recommend you do.
Ensure you don’t add too much broth or water so you don’t end up with a pot of mushy rice.

- 1.5 Long grain rice

Rinse the soaked rice until water runs clear and drain. Add the rice to the curry mixture and stir, toast for a few minutes.

Add the coconut milk and stir, add a small quantity of chicken broth the same level as the rice or just a little bit over it. Soaking the rice is optional if you decide not to soak the rice you can still toast but you’ll need to use more broth, so add broth or water just above the rice level.

Return the chicken, cover and bring to a boil then simmer until the rice is fully cooked. Stir and check the seasoning, readjust if necessary.
