Preparation Steps
- Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with coconut milk and water. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to low. Let it simmer for 15 minutes, then turn off heat and let sit for 10 minutes.
- Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5–7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and let rest.
- In the same skillet, lower the heat and sauté the minced garlic and grated ginger until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add soy sauce, fish sauce, and brown sugar to the skillet, stirring to combine. Simmer for a couple of minutes until slightly thickened.
- Stir in the sliced red bell pepper, sugar snap peas, and shredded carrots. Cook for about 3–4 minutes until vibrant and tender-crisp.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, coat in sauce, and warm through for 2–3 minutes.
- Fluff the cooked rice and divide into bowls. Top each bowl with the coconut chicken and sautéed vegetables.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.

Notes
Rinsing rice removes excess starch, preventing clumping. Adjust cooking times for different chicken cuts as needed.
