Thai Chicken and Coconut Rice

Oh my goodness, *I* thought this was YUMMY!  My three fellas weren’t quite as impressed.  Sometimes it is hard to live with 3 ‘meat and taters’ guys.   :)

It reminded me a lot of my Curried Chicken with Couscous - but the addition of the Coconut Rice was just lovely.  I’ll have to make this again when I have a ladies get together.  :)

Here is the original recipe.  

2 (14 oz) cans coconut milk

2 c water

1 tsp salt

2 c uncooked long grain rice

2 T creamy peanut butter

4 T soy sauce

1-4 tsp chili garlic paste  (I didn’t have this so omitted it)

1/4 c sesame oil

4-6 boneless skinless chicken breasts, chunked

6 green onions, thinly sliced

2 med red bell peppers, thinly sliced - I also added green peppers

I added sliced carrots - Yummy!

Rice:

-bring 2 cups of the milk added to the water with salt to a boil.

-add rice, lower to simmer and cook 20 min

Sauce for Chicken:

-whisk rest of milk, peanut butter, soy and chili garlic paste

Chicken:

-in oil saute chicken, add onion and peppers (and carrots)

-cook for 10 min

-Add sauce, simmer 3 min

Serve chicken over the rice
