One-Pot Coconut-Cilantro Rice with Chicken

Step 1

Place 1 cup basmati rice, 1 cup water, and 1 can lite coconut milk in a large saucepan over high heat, season with kosher salt, and stir to combine. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to maintain an active simmer, cover, and cook until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir occasionally to make sure nothing is sticking to the bottom and make sure to keep the heat low so the rice doesn’t burn. Meanwhile, trim 2 cups snow peas and shred 1 1/2 to 2 cups cooked chicken if needed.

Step 2

During the last few minutes of cooking, stir in the snow peas. When the rice is ready, stir in the chicken and cook uncovered until warmed through, about 2 minutes more. Divide between plates and top with 1/2 cup torn fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems. Serve with lime wedges, if desired.
