Notes
This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed broccoli. If your family is fond of vegetables, consider cooking the broccoli directly in the pan with the sauce. Simply add broccoli florets when you include the sauce, and they'll soak up the delicious flavors as they steam.
Adjust the Sauce: If you prefer extra sauce to drizzle over your rice and chicken, feel free to add more coconut milk until you achieve your desired consistency.
