Chicken Breast with Coconut Sauce

I made this recipe with skinless chicken breasts on the bone. I omitted the oregano and bay leaf because of preference. The sauce turned out great, although I added about 2/3 of the entire can of coconut milk, about a cup and 1/2, because I wanted my sauce to be more milky than vinegary. We enjoyed our coconut chicken with jasmine rice and steamer bag veggies that included califlower, snowpeas, and carrots in a basil sauce. My entire family loved it, and it was not too much seasoning for my 5 year old and 9 month old.

Cooking this right now.. The house smells divine! If it tastes as good as it smells we are all in for a treat! I followed the recipe to a T except I also added 1 1/2 c of coconut milk and will probably make a slurry to slightly thicken.. Serving with jasmine rice and a fresh green salad with homemade orange rosemary vinaigrette.

I was looking for something new to do with my chicken, I had a can of coconut milk in the pantry and googled coconut chicken. I found this recipe. So glad I did It was so tasty! We also had it over jasmine rice but I used chicken thighs instead of breast. I also omitted the bay leaf but maybe I'll put it in whole during the final simmer next time. Instead of parsley I used fresh cilantro and I used apple cider vinegar instead of white. I also used the whole can of coconut milk. I will definitely make this again, next time I'm going to use less chicken stock & vinegar and a whole can of coconut milk again to have it a little thicker and just a little less tangy for our taste. This was a great base recipe, keeper.

I made a few adjustments; used 2 large bone-in breasts, used about 2 tbsp. malt vinegar and only one cup of chicken stock and a few rosemary sprigs instead of oregano and 1/2 of a whole bay leaf, added one can of coconut milk and served on linguini; YUM!
