Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a non-stick saucepan over medium-high heat nearly to smoking. Cook and stir rice in the hot oil quickly to toast the rice, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir the onion into the rice; cook and stir 1 minute more. Pour chicken broth over the rice mixture, season with garlic salt, and bring to a boil; reduce heat to low, place a cover on the saucepan, and cook until the broth is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to rest 5 minutes before lifting the lid.

SIMPLE BAKED RICE
Rice infused with garlic and onion baked in chicken stock. A wonderfully simple dish even picky eaters will enjoy. I use homemade stock as it's the most flavorful, but use whatever you have on hand. Another option is adding whatever leftover veggies or meat I have to make a simple casserole without a heavy cream sauce. This recipe uses a rice-to-liquid ratio of 2:1 for long-grain rice.

Steps:
- Combine 1 cup of the coconut milk, the lime zest, half of the garlic, the grated ginger, brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Cover and let marinate 8 hours or overnight.
- Preheat a grill to medium high. Remove the chicken from the marinade and season lightly with salt.
- Heat the coconut oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the remaining garlic and the chopped ginger. Cook, stirring, until softened but not browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the rice; cook, stirring, until slightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the remaining coconut milk, 1 1/4 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer, then stir and reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, brush the grill with coconut oil. Grill the chicken until well marked and cooked through, about 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Transfer to a plate and loosely cover.
- Fluff the rice with a fork. Add the broccoli, toasted coconut and scallions to the pan; toss to combine. Let sit to slightly cook the broccoli, about 2 minutes. Divide the chicken and rice among plates. Serve with lime wedges.
