This recipe sounded so good, and so pleasantly simple. I will say that it was indeed aromatic - it smelled delicious, but it seriously lacked flavor. As said in another review the "sauce" was very watery. This dish was really disappointing, and we won't make it again.

This is delicious. My three teenage boys and husband love it and ask for it again and again.

Excellent and easy to make. I used boneless skinless chicken thighs and it turned out great.

This was an unusual dish for us; obviously it is quite sweet. I was not impressed with the "sauce"; it is simply a thin sweet liquid lacking real flavor. I did like the idea of cooking the rice with coconut milk. But I don't think I will make this again.

I'll be making this again! The flavor was so good- and I liked the comment of adding the leftover coconut milk to make the rice. Thanks for an easy recipe!
