Method

  1. 1

    Combine the rinsed jasmine rice and water with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt in a medium pot over medium-high heat, bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat to low, and cook for 15 minutes before removing from heat to rest covered for 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    While the rice cooks, melt the virgin coconut oil in a large deep skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat.

  3. 3

    Add the sliced chicken breast strips and sear for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned on the outside.

  4. 4

    Lower the heat to medium, stir in the minced garlic, ground ginger, and curry powder, and cook for 1 minute until highly fragrant.

  5. 5

    Pour in the coconut milk, coconut aminos, and the remaining 3/4 teaspoon of salt, stirring well to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

  6. 6

    Bring the curry to a gentle simmer and cook uncovered for 6 to 8 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly and the chicken is fully cooked through.

  7. 7

    Turn off the heat, and fluff the resting jasmine rice with a fork before ladling the hot coconut chicken curry on top.

Tip

Store leftovers in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. If the sauce thickens when chilled, loosen it with a splash of water when gently reheating on the stovetop.
