Coconut Chicken Rice Bowl

This Coconut Chicken Rice Bowl is inspired by classic coconut curry dishes but offers a lighter twist without red curry paste. With tender chicken breast simmered in a creamy coconut milk sauce, fragrant spices, and served over jasmine or basmati rice, it’s the perfect dish for a quick and healthy meal. High in protein and packed with anti-inflammatory ingredients like ginger and garlic, it’s ideal for gluten-free, dairy-free diets.
