INGREDIENTS
Ginger Peanut Chicken
- 1 1/4 pounds chicken thighs, fat trimmed, cut into small bite-sized pieces
- 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced (white parts and green parts separated)
- zest and juice of 1-2 limes
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
- 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup chopped roasted peanuts
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- spinach, bok choy, etc.
Coconut Rice
- 2 cups white or jasmine rice
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 can coconut milk
- a pinch of salt
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Marinate Chicken: In a stainless steel bowl, mix the chicken with the ginger, green onions (white parts), lime zest, brown sugar, salt, and oil. Marinate for 20 minutes-2 hours.
2. Rice: Add the rice ingredients to an Instant Pot. Cook on high pressure for 3 minutes, followed by a natural pressure release for 10-15 minutes (it won’t be quite done yet after 3 minutes – it needs the rest time to finish cooking). Release the steam, fluff with a fork, and attempt not to eat the whole thing! (Don’t have an Instant Pot? Alternative methods are in the notes section!)
