CARIBBEAN SMOTHERED CHICKEN WITH COCONUT, LIME, AND CHILES



Caribbean Smothered Chicken With Coconut, Lime, and Chiles image

Smothered pork chops may be an iconic soul food specialty, but this recipe proves you can smother anything. All it really means is coating slow-cooked meat with a blanket of saucy aromatics that end up as gravy too.

1 teaspoon vegetable oil

Time 3h50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk, divided
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into strips
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1 cup panko bread crumbs
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 egg, beaten
½ cup reduced-fat mayonnaise

Steps:

STICKY COCONUT CHICKEN AND RICE



Sticky Coconut Chicken and Rice image

This comforting one-pot chicken dish features fragrant coconut rice infused with aromatic ginger, garlic and scallion, and studded with toasty cashews. The cashews soften as the rice steams, adding subtle nuttiness to the dish. Chicken thighs absorb the coconut milk as they cook, which keeps the meat tender and juicy. Fresh chopped cilantro brightens the dish, while hot sauce adds nice heat and tang to balance the creamy, rich and slightly sweet rice.

1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, each thigh cut into 2 equal-size pieces
1/4 cup neutral oil, such as safflower or canola
2 teaspoons kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 1/2 cups short-grain white rice, rinsed until water runs clear
1 3/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 (13.5-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
1 yellow bell pepper, cored, seeded and chopped (½-inch pieces)
1/2 cup roasted cashews, coarsely chopped
3 scallions, green and white parts, thinly sliced (½ packed cup)
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped cilantro
Hot sauce, for serving

Add broth, coconut milk, bell pepper, cashews, scallions and the remaining 1 teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Stir to lift up any browned bits on the bottom of the pot. Arrange chicken on top, add any accumulated juices from the plate and bring to a boil over high.
