Steps:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, peanut butter, chili garlic sauce, Worcestershire sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, coriander, and cumin. Set aside.
- In a large nonstick skillet, warm 2 tablespoons vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once oil is shimmering, season the chicken with salt and pepper and add to the skillet. Cook, undisturbed for 1 minute to develop a crust. Then saute for 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
- Add the remaining vegetable oil to the skillet; toss in the broccoli and carrots. Saute for about 3 minutes until vegetables are tender.
- Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet, along with any accumulated juices, and the ginger. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Give the sauce a stir and pour it into the skillet. Toss to coat only for 15-20 seconds to warm through. Remove from heat.
- Serve immediately with cooked white rice and a sprinkle of chopped Thai basil.

SPICY CREAMY COCONUT CLAY POT CHICKEN
This was my first attempt at glazed clay pot cooking, although this recipe could easily be adapted for crackpot or conventional cooking. I've adapted the recipe from one I found on Asian Recipes Online. We were delighted with the result! Of course, fresh is always best, but, if you're in a hurry you can use bottled ingredients or herbs 'in a tube'. I did and the result was still wonderful.

STICKY COCONUT CHICKEN AND RICE
This comforting one-pot chicken dish features fragrant coconut rice infused with aromatic ginger, garlic and scallion, and studded with toasty cashews. The cashews soften as the rice steams, adding subtle nuttiness to the dish. Chicken thighs absorb the coconut milk as they cook, which keeps the meat tender and juicy. Fresh chopped cilantro brightens the dish, while hot sauce adds nice heat and tang to balance the creamy, rich and slightly sweet rice.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 375 degrees. Rub chicken with 1 tablespoon of oil, and season with 1 teaspoon of salt and ¼ teaspoon of pepper.
- In a large Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium. Working in two batches, brown chicken, turning halfway, until no longer pink, around 5 minutes per batch. Transfer to a plate.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, the ginger and the garlic to the empty pot, and stir until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add rice and stir until evenly coated in the oil. Add broth, coconut milk, bell pepper, cashews, scallions and the remaining 1 teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Stir to lift up any browned bits on the bottom of the pot. Arrange chicken on top, add any accumulated juices from the plate and bring to a boil over high.
- Cover and bake until all of the liquid is absorbed, rice is tender and chicken is cooked through, 25 minutes. Scatter cilantro over the chicken and rice, then divide among bowls. Serve with hot sauce.
