Thai-Style Coconut Chicken

Unsweetened coconut milk, a staple in Thai cuisine readily available at the supermarket, is a great ingredient to have handy if you’re looking for rich-tasting, long-simmering flavor but are pressed for time. If you can’t find jasmine rice, substitute basmati or Texmati, which is a cross between American long-grain rice and basmati.

ACTIVE TIME: 20 minutes

TOTAL TIME: 30 minutes

MAKES: 4 main-dish servings

1 cup jasmine rice or long-grain white rice

1 can (14 ounces) light coconut milk (not cream of coconut)

1 cup canned or homemade chicken broth

2 strips (3″ by½″) fresh lime peel

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into ½-inch-wide strips

6 ounces snow peas (2 cups), strings removed

1 tablespoon reduced-sodium Asian fish sauce (see Tip,)

¼ cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves, chopped

lime wedges
