Why This Recipe Is Weeknight-Fancy SOS<\/h2>\n

We are definitely ride-or-die for weeknight-easy meals but it\u2019s definitely a bonus when it can still feel a little fancy-adjacent, you know? A little elevated. We also love a frozen pizza or an \u201cok, it\u2019s popcorn for dinner!\u201d kind of night, too\u2026but it\u2019s nice when that level of ease can also be lovely and delicious and look harder than it was. So, that\u2019s the sweet spot these SOS recipes are always kinda going for.<\/p>\n

To bring this lil\u2019 gem together:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Marinate the chicken.<\/strong> Do you haaaave to? Nah. But it\u2019s a great extra boost you can give the chicken while you\u2019re prepping the rest of your ingredients anyway! The flavor will be there even if your heart says \ud83d\ude29 to marinating.<\/li>\n
  2. Make your rice.<\/strong> Everything goes into the Instant Pot, voila! Perfect coconut rice.<\/li>\n
  3. Caramelize dat chicken.<\/strong> Get all that deliciousness in your pan and let\u2019s go. You actually want to leave it undisturbed in the hot pan for a bit anyway to get all that caramelly sear, so yay! Less to do!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    That\u2019s really just about it, a simple 1-2-3! You\u2019ll toss your peanuts and greens in there once the chicken thighs are cooked through. We love a cilantro\/green onion blend but we\u2019ve also done it with spinach for an A+ situation. Whatever you love!<\/p>\n

    Top with more peanuts, more lime squeezes, everything spilling over that fluffy, luscious coconut rice\u2026ok, YES, SOS. We see you.<\/p>\n

    How To Make Coconut Rice (And Why It\u2019s Heaven)<\/h2>\n

    We really don\u2019t know what to say about this coconut rice other than we\u2026never stop thinking about it? Like, awkwardly so. Have you tried this other SOS fave<\/a> with coconut rice? Oof.<\/p>\n

    It\u2019s still an easy Instant Pot button-push away (or rice cooker\/stove top if you prefer), so no extra work, but it IS extra luxe. That coconut milk just replaces part of the cooking liquid \u2013 yep, it\u2019s that simple \u2013 and the result is out of this world. It doesn\u2019t turn out creamy exactly, but it is just sort of\u2026velvety? Is that a thing?<\/p>\n

    So satisfying and rich that you don\u2019t need any kind of extra sauce on the chicken, except for a lime squeeze or two for brightness. We are so very star-eyes about all of it.<\/p>\n

    What To Serve With This Ginger Peanut Chicken<\/h2>\n

    Everything absolutely shines as is, but if you\u2019d like to get some extra green on the table alongside, some roasted broccoli or maybe some seared green beans might be nice. There\u2019s always another of our SOS-iest faves: this simple green salad<\/a>. Simple, lovely, a never-fail.<\/p>\n

    Do you want to pile the rice\/chicken in a lettuce wrap? Hello, yes you\u2019re a genius!<\/p>\n

    Does extra-good puppy chow<\/a> count as a side-dish? It does now.<\/p>\n

    Do you want to just open a bag of baby carrots because hey, you already accomplished a lot with this dinner? Have at it! You win. Always. <\/p>\n

    \"Person<\/figure>\n

    Welcome to the *almost* end of winter. Let\u2019s really celebrate with some easy dinner wins. \ud83c\udfc6<\/p>\n

    Ginger Peanut Chicken: Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n
    \n
    Can you use other nuts, or just omit the nuts?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

    For sure! You\u2019ll lose some of the crunch, but it will still be delicious. As an alternative to peanuts, cashews would also work well here.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

    Do you have to take the time to marinate the chicken?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

    Not really, the flavor will come through either way, but as long as you\u2019re prepping everything else anyway \u2013 rice, toppings, etc. \u2013 it will just give the chicken more time to absorb that goodness if you start that first<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

    How can I cook the coconut rice on the stovetop or in a rice cooker?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

    Cooking the rice in a rice cooker or just on the stovetop should work well. To make it on the stove, you can add 2 cups of rice, 1.5 cups of water, and a 14-ounce can of coconut milk to a large pot and bring it to a boil. Once it\u2019s boiling, you can reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and cook the rice for about 15-20 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
