Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced

  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 cup water
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until clear. Combine rinsed rice with coconut milk, water, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer covered for 15 minutes. Let sit off heat for an additional 5 minutes.
