Ingredients

Servings
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate juice
  • 2 cup chicken stock low-sodium, divided
  • 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 5 chicken thighs boneless, skinless
  • 1 1/2 cups brown jasmine rice rinsed well
  • 1 1/2 cups coconut milk
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp parsley chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. 
  2. Whisk pomegranate juice, 1/2 cup chicken stock, dijon, apple cider vinegar and maple syrup in a small bowl. 
  3. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat a large cast iron skillet to a medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the chicken thighs flat side down. Sear until golden brown and crisp, flip over and remove from heat.  Pour the pomegranate mixture over the chicken. Place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. 
  4. Brush the chicken with reduced sauce mixture  Place back in the oven and cook another 10 minutes until sauce is reduced. If sauce hasn't reduced enough to be a sauce, remove chicken to a different plate and cover with foil. Place the skillet over the heat, bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer until thickened. 
  5. While the chicken cooks,  add rice, remaining chicken stock, coconut milk and salt. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cover and simmer until liquid is absorbed, about 20-25 minutes. Add parsley and fluff with a fork. Season with salt and pepper. 
  6. Serve chicken over rice, Drizzle with sauce.
