Whatcha Eatin'?

I love chicken. I love coconut. Here's a splendid meeting of those two ingredients. Now that the evenings are cooling off it's a great time to serve up something spicy and hot.

Spicy Coconut Chicken Casserole

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

4 whole chicken legs (about 3 pounds total)

Coarse salt and ground pepper

1 can (14.5 ounces) light coconut milk

1 1/2 cups canned reduced-sodium chicken broth

1 to 2 teaspoons Thai red curry paste

1 cup jasmine rice

2 red bell peppers (ribs and seeds removed), cut into 1-inch pieces

8 ounces green beans (stem ends removed), cut into 1-inch lengths

1/2 lemon, cut into wedges, for serving

Directions

In a 5-quart Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat oil over medium-high. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Working in two batches, cook chicken until browned, 6 to 8 minutes; transfer to a plate (chicken will cook more in step 2).

To pot, add coconut milk, broth, 1/2 cup water, and curry paste; bring to a boil, and stir in rice. Add chicken (with any juices), arranging pieces in a single layer. Cover, and reduce heat to medium-low.

Cook, without stirring, until rice is almost tender, 15 minutes.Scatter bell peppers and green beans on top of chicken mixture; cover, and cook until vegetables are crisp-tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Cook's Note: You'll find Thai red curry paste (which keeps indefinitely in the refrigerator) and coconut milk in the Asian-foods aisle. For a spicier dish, stir in a bit more curry paste.

I also came across this recipe: Nutella cake in a mug! Mmmmm!
