Ingredients
  

1 cup jasmine rice

1 ¾ cups coconut milk

2 ripe peaches, diced

1 cup cooked shredded chicken (or chickpeas for a vegetarian option)

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped

1 tablespoon honey (optional)

1 tablespoon lime juice

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup sliced almonds (for garnish)

1/4 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)

Instructions
 

Cook the rice: Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and coconut milk. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed (about 15-20 minutes). Fluff with a fork and set aside.

    Prepare the chicken (or chickpeas): If using chicken, shred it into bite-sized pieces. For chickpeas, simply drain and rinse a can of chickpeas. You can sauté them in a little olive oil with salt and pepper for added flavor if desired.

      Mix the dressing: In a small bowl, combine the honey (if using), lime juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk together until well blended.

        Assemble the bowl: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, diced peaches, shredded chicken (or chickpeas), red onion, and chopped basil. Drizzle the dressing over the mixture and stir gently to combine, ensuring everything is well coated.

          Garnish and serve: Divide the rice mixture into serving bowls and top with sliced almonds and a sprinkle of chili flakes (if using) for an extra kick. Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the delightful blend of flavors!
