Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Ginger Lime Chicken with Coconut Rice.
Step 1
To start your culinary adventure, grab a glass bowl and toss in your chicken breast cubes.
Step 2
Squeeze in some fresh lime juice, add a sprinkle of lime zest, and grate in a bit of ginger for that zesty kick.
Step 3
Let this delightful mixture marinate for about 20 minutes; this step is key to infusing the chicken with vibrant flavors that will make your taste buds dance.
Step 4
While the chicken is soaking up those delicious flavors, take a medium saucepan and combine coconut milk and sugar over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Bring this creamy concoction to a gentle simmer, then stir in jasmine rice.
Step 6
Lower the heat, cover the saucepan tightly, and let it cook for about 20 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed all the liquid.
Step 7
Once itโs done, remove it from the heat and fluff the rice with a fork, keeping it warm and inviting.
Step 8
Next, heat some sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Step 9
Add the marinated chicken along with all that flavorful marinade.
Step 10
Stir-fry the chicken until itโs beautifully browned, which should take around 3 minutes.
Step 11
For a touch of sweetness, drizzle honey over the chicken and continue to stir-fry for another minute, being careful not to let the honey burn.
Step 12
Once the chicken is perfectly cooked, remove it from the heat and sprinkle with flaked coconut for that extra crunch and flavor.
Step 13
Now itโs time to serve! Plate your ginger-lime chicken hot, alongside the fluffy coconut rice.
Step 14
This dish is not just a meal; itโs a celebration of flavors that will transport you to a tropical paradise with every bite.
Step 15
Enjoy your delicious creation!.
