    Title: Sticky Coconut Chicken & Rice
    Categories: Poultry, Rice, Herbs, Vegetables, Nuts
    Yield: 4 servings

    1 1/2 lb Boned, skinned thighs; each
    - thigh cut in 2 equal-size
    - pieces
    1/4 c Neutral oil
    2 ts Kosher salt
    1/2 ts Black pepper
    2 tb Minced fresh ginger
    1 tb Minced garlic
    1 1/2 c Short-grain white rice;
    - rinsed until water runs
    - clear
    1 3/4 c Chicken broth
    13 1/3 oz Can full-fat coconut milk
    1 Yellow bell pepper; cored,
    - seeded, chopped in 1/2"
    - pieces
    1/2 c Roasted cashews; coarse
    - chopped
    3 Scallions; green/white parts
    - thin sliced
    2 tb Coarse chopped cilantro
    Hot sauce; to serve

    Set oven @ 375oF/190oC.

    Rub chicken with 1 tablespoon of oil, and season with 1
    teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper.

    In a large Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil
    over medium. Working in two batches, brown chicken,
    turning halfway, until no longer pink, around 5 minutes
    per batch. Transfer to a plate.

    Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, the ginger and the
    garlic to the empty pot, and stir until fragrant, 30
    seconds. Add rice and stir until evenly coated in the
    oil. Add broth, coconut milk, bell pepper, cashews,
    scallions and the remaining 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4
    teaspoon pepper. Stir to lift up any browned bits on the
    bottom of the pot. Arrange chicken on top, add any
    accumulated juices from the plate and bring to a boil
    over high.

    Cover and bake until all of the liquid is absorbed, rice
    is tender and chicken is cooked through, 25 minutes.
    Scatter cilantro over the chicken and rice, then divide
    among bowls. Serve with hot sauce.

    UDD NOTES: I cut the cilantro by half which allows the
    desired flavour without the "soapweed" effect. I also
    mash the ginger & garlic together in a mortar & pestle
    and add crushed red chile to zip things up a bit. Side
    with steamed broccoli or "stir fry" mixed vegetables.
