Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium-high heat until melted and shimmering.

  3. In the same Dutch oven, add the diced medium onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
  4. Stir in 1.5 cups of jasmine rice, cooking for about 1 minute.
  5. Pour in 13.5 oz of full-fat coconut milk, followed by 2.5 cups of chicken broth, 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, and seasonings. Stir well.
  6. Return the browned chicken thighs to the pot, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
  7. Once cooked, remove the pot from heat and let it stand, covered, for another 5 minutes.
  8. Fluff the rice gently and stir in 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice, 0.25 cup of chopped cilantro, and sliced green onions.
