As the chicken simmers alongside aromatic onions, garlic, and earthy mushrooms, it enriches the creamy coconut milk and vegetable stock mixture enveloping the rice. This process not only yields succulent chicken but also ensures that the rice is perfectly cooked, absorbing the rich, spiced broth it’s bathed in.
