1 1/4 cups water

Combine rice, coconut milk, water, honey and a pinch of salt (optional) to a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and cover for 20 minutes.

This is loved by the whole family. My 2 year old is the biggest fan! Add your favorite vegetable for variety.
Coconut: Although classified by the FDA as a tree nut, coconut is not a common allergen and is not related to tree nuts. If you have a
tree nut allergy, consult your physician to find out if you need to avoid coconut.

Really yummy. The only thing though was the rice was a bit gooey so I put it in the oven for a while to dry it up a bit. Thanks for the recipe, will definitely make it again!
We have made this 3 times now, we are adding chipped carrots and zucchini to the rice as it cooks and then adding some red bell pepper just before serving with the chicken on top. We love that it can be a one dish meal that way and it is very colorful. Yum!
The rice was very good, but the chicken was extremely dry and bland. I tried cutting thin pieces of chicken and marinating for longer, but it did not help much. I plan to keep making the rice, but not the chicken.
