Cooking Steps
• Finely chop garlic.
• In a medium saucepan, heat the butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat. Cook garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add basmati rice, the water (for the rice) and a generous pinch of salt, stir, then bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat and keep covered until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 10 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don’t peek!
• While the rice is cooking, trim baby broccoli. Thinly slice carrot and zucchini into half-moons.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook baby broccoli, carrot and zucchini until tender, 5-6 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl.
• Meanwhile, cut chicken thigh into 2cm chunks.
Little cooks: Help rinse the veggies!
• Wipe out the frying pan, then return to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook chicken, tossing, until browned and cooked through (no longer pink inside), 5-6 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, then add mild Caribbean jerk seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add coconut milk, the water (for the chicken) and stock concentrate. Simmer until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes.
• Return cooked veggies to the pan, then stir in baby spinach leaves and cook until wilted, 1-2 minutes. Season to taste.
• Divide garlic rice between bowls.
• Top with Caribbean chicken and coconut stew.
• Sprinkle with crushed peanuts to serve. Enjoy!
Little cooks: Add the finishing touch and sprinkle over the peanuts!

Review summary
Updated on July 2026- Flavour: The Caribbean jerk and coconut flavours were well received, though several found the sauce mild; adding chilli helped boost the heat.
- Ease of prep: A straightforward, quick cook with simple veggie prep that works well on a weeknight.
- Suggestions: Many reviewers found the sauce too watery; reducing the water added to the chicken step — some suggested using around 250 ml instead of 500 ml — helped achieve a thicker, more flavourful result. Adding a little cornflour to the simmering sauce is another option if it doesn't reduce enough.
- Portions: Some felt the chicken quantity was a little light relative to the volume of sauce and vegetables.
