Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1  Brown Onion, Finely Chopped
  • 3 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 2  Large Chicken Breasts Sliced Into 1 Inch Cubes
  • 4 sticks Celery, Chopped
  • 2  Carrots, Grated
  • 2 cups Chicken Broth
  • 1 cup Coconut Milk, Divided
  • ¼ cups Fresh Basil Leaves
  • Salt And Pepper
  • 2 cups Brown Rice (I Used Brown And Wild Rice)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 180ºC (355ºF).

Pour olive oil into a roasting pan with onion and garlic. Stir and place in the hot oven for 5 minutes. Increase heat to 210ºC (410ºF).

Take the pan out of the oven and add chicken, celery, carrots, broth and 1/2 cup coconut milk. Put the casserole back in the oven for 15 minutes.

Add the remaining 1/2 cup coconut milk, basil, salt and pepper to the casserole and evenly pour the rice over, press the rice down gently with a wooden spoon until covered with liquid. Bake for another 40 minutes, until rice is cooked and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
