- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 cups water
- 1 1/2 cups uncooked long grain white rice
- 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves – cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
- 1/3 cup shredded coconut
- In a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Stir in the onion and garlic, and cook 2 minutes. Mix in the coconut milk, water, rice, and chicken, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 20 minutes, until rice is tender and chicken juices run clear.
- Stir the spinach into the skillet, and cook just until heated through. Sprinkle with coconut, and serve.
