Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon ground coriander

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice


Instructions

  1. Step 1: Sauté the Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger (if using) and sauté for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Step 2: Cook the Rice: Add the rice to the skillet and stir to coat with the oil and aromatics. Pour in the coconut milk and water (or broth). Stir and bring to a simmer.
  3. Step 3: Simmer and Steam: Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid. Let the rice cook for about 15-18 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
