Print Recipe

A delightful bowl filled with fluffy rice, tender chicken, and vibrant veggies in luscious coconut milk.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breast, diced
  • 1 cup coconut milk

  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, broccoli, carrots)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or gluten-free alternative)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the diced chicken. Season with salt and pepper, and stir-fry until golden brown, about 6-8 minutes.
