Are you craving chicken with coconut rice, but more than that, craving an easy weeknight meal you don’t have to put (much) effort into? We’ve got the perfect lazy weeknight dinner for you. Instant pot; (near) instant gratification. Enjoy!
The Recipe Card
Ok so you’ve probably seen a million instant pot chicken recipes, but we promise you have never tasted one this delicious. Jasmine rice and chicken thighs are cooked in a bath of our Organic Coconut Water and Organic Coconut Smoothie, infusing every bite with delectably creamy coconut flavor. But that’s not all; the rice and chicken simmer together with a perfect blend of aromatics (lemongrass, galangal, and lime leaves) imparting more flavor than should be legal for a recipe coming out of an instant pot.
After about an hour in the instant pot, remove the chicken (checking for doneness), and season your rice with lime juice and cilantro. If you have the cilantro ‘soap gene’ feel free to omit, and please accept our deepest condolences. Taste one last time to see if additional seasoning is needed and serve with your favorite veg, or a simple salad. Aren’t you glad you dusted off your instant pot?
What You'll Need
- ½ cup Harmless Harvest Organic Coconut Water
- 1 cup Harmless Harvest Organic Coconut Smoothie
- 3 cups of Jasmine rice
- 5-6 chicken thighs
- 2 stalks of lemongrass
- 3-4 slices of galangal
- 3-4 lime leaves
- 1 cilantro bunch
- 4-5 limes
- 2 tbsp salt and pepper (adjust to your liking)
How To Make It
1. Prepare (clean, cut or slice) lemongrass, galangal, lime leaves, and chicken thighs.
2. Rinse and clean Jasmine rice.
3. In an instant pot, add cleaned Jasmine rice, herbs, chicken, salt and pepper, ½ cup of Harmless Harvest Organic Coconut Water, and 1 cup of Harmless Harvest Organic Coconut Smoothie.
4. Set instant cook setting to slow cook on instant pot. Cook for about an hour or adjust cooking time according to your servings.
5. Remove the chicken. Add juice of 4-5 limes and cilantro to the rice and mix well. Taste test rice to determine if another pinch of salt should be added.
6. Serve it with a side of your favorite greens and some extra lime!
ALL ABOUT OUR DAY 1 A1: ORGANIC COCONUT WATER
The one who started it all. Our pride and joy: Harmless Harvest Organic Coconut Water. Mid-hike on a sweltering summer day, cooling down after hot yoga, lounging in the park with friends, or even just a swig from the nightstand in the middle of the night, nothing quenches thirst quite like our Original Coconut Water. It’s naturally sweet, crisp, and refreshing but will also satisfy and hydrate whenever you need to soak in all the benefits coconut water has to offer. What benefits are we talking about? Well for starters, it’s hydrating, and with naturally occurring electrolytes it’s a good source of phosphorus and potassium.
To achieve peak deliciousness, we start with uniquely fragrant and tasty, organic, young Nam Hom coconuts grown in Thailand. With no extra ingredients, our 100% coconut water is the closest you can come to drinking straight from a coconut! (No mallet necessary.) We keep our bottling process as simple as possible to provide you with maximum benefits and exceptional taste.
With so many benefits and unmatched taste, we are positive that no matter how or where you choose to enjoy our Original Organic Coconut Water, you’ll crave it just as much as we do.
LOOKING FOR A MORE SUBSTANTIAL COCONUT DRINK?
You’re in luck! After perfecting our delivery of the best organic coconut water on the market, we realized we were leaving a lot on the table. Specifically: coconut meat. The meat from our young Nam Hom coconuts is chewy but tender, and a succulent blend of sweet and delicate flavors. When blended with the refreshing, crisp coconut water inside, the result is an impossibly creamy and decadent drink. Blended to smooth perfection, with the just-sweet-enough taste of fresh coconut, our Organic Coconut Smoothie comes with zero added sugar or weirdness.
Perfectly portioned in our 10oz 100% rPET bottles*, you can take our smoothies wherever you need a satisfying snack. Pack them in school lunches to help keep your littles fueled and hydrated, add it to your favorite smoothie recipe, or try it as a cocktail mixer. Don’t worry, we’ve got recipes for those too! Like this Chocolate Coconut Pumpkin Martini or this summer-in-a-glass Mango Coconut Daquiri.
Pop one in your gym bag for a post-yoga refuel, and stash some in the office fridge for a perfect mid-afternoon pick-me-up when the 3PM sleepies hit. They’re a perfect start to a busy day, or a mid-morning sip when you need a little something to hold you over before lunch. But honestly, they’re so delicious and convenient you won’t need a reason or occasion to indulge!
