This aromatic spiced coconut chicken and rice is a wonderful example of a one-pot meal that delivers deep, complex flavours with minimal effort. By using bone-in chicken thighs, the cooking liquid becomes a rich, savoury stock that perfectly seasons the jasmine rice. The combination of creamy coconut milk, warming turmeric and zingy lime creates a comforting dish that feels both indulgent and nourishing.

As a high-protein main course, this recipe is ideal for busy weeknights or post-workout recovery. The use of a multi-cooker ensures the chicken remains succulents while the rice absorbs every drop of the spiced infusion. For a more wholesome twist, you can easily swap the jasmine rice for brown rice to increase the fibre content, making it a versatile addition to your healthy eating repertoire.
