Quick and Easy Kid Friendly Recipe
Chicken Braised in Coconut Milk Recipe
For a more kid-friendly, non-spicy version, just do steps 2-4. It’s still super-moist and delicious – and even faster and easier! On really rushed days, you could even skip the onion/garlic/ginger in step 3 and just add the coconut milk – it’s still good!
Serve with steamed rice.
