Sometimes a recipe comes along and it just blows. your. mind: hello Asian Pomegranate Coconut Chicken Skillet. Its the multi-dimensional sauce. Its the juicy spice rubbed chicken. Its the easy prep. Its the speed of cooking. Its the jaw dropping deliciousness. Its all of the above in one skillet! I first made a version of this Pomegranate Coconut Sauce for lamb over two years ago (terrible pics but SO good!) and I have been eager to make a more accessible every day version ever since and this answer of Asian Pomegranate Coconut Chicken Skillet even exceeded my expectations. All I wanted to devour for days was this Pomegranate Coconut Chicken until every last drop of sauce was licked clean. No exaggeration. So what makes this Asian Pomegranate Coconut Chicken Skillet so special? The chicken (I use thighs because they are oh so juicy but you can sub chicken breast fillets), is first massaged with a wet rub of olive oil, ginger, garlic, onion, salt and pepper. The chicken is then cooked for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and removed from the skillet for flavor bursting, juicy stand-alone chicken. Next, you add your AH-mazing Pomegranate Coconut Sauce to the skillet that is a quick whisking of creamy coconut milk, sweet and tangy pomegranate juice, rich hoisin sauce, grounding soy sauce, tangy lime juice, rice vinegar, brown sugar and some hand picked spices. You will want to drink this sauce and consume everything it touches. Simmer your Pomegranate Coconut Sauce just a few minutes to thicken, then add your chicken back to the skillet. Finally, the exquisitely delicious level is amplified by the incredible textures and flavors of crushed peanuts, sweetened coconut flakes and pomegranate arils all served over a bed of rice. Prepare for your mind to be blown.
