Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds chicken tenders cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1/2 cup onion diced
  • 1 cup green bell pepper diced
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 14.5 oz. cans chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 cups rice
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes extra for serving, if desired
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric
  • 1 can coconut milk about 13.5 ounces
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 tbsp cilantro extra for serving, if desired

Instructions

  1. Add oil to a deep frying pan or sauté pan (with a lid). Cook chicken, onion, green pepper, and garlic (about 4 minutes).

  2. Add chicken stock, water, rice, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and turmeric. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes-until rice is desired tenderness and chicken is no longer pink. Stir this mixture occasionally so it does not burn.

  3. When rice is desired tenderness, add coconut milk, lime juice, cream, and cilantro. Heat through-don't boil.

  4. Serve and enjoy!
