Sticky Rice with Chicken

1 C. uncooked jasmine rice
1- 13.5 oz. can Coconut Milk
2/3 C. sugar
1/2 t. salt
4 chicken breasts, cooked and cubed

In a medium saucepan bring 1 3/4 C. water to a boil. Add the rice and briefly stir.
Reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer 15 minutes or until water is just absorbed.

Meanwhile in a small saucepan, combine Coconut Milk, sugar and salt. Boil for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.

Add the hot Coconut Milk sauce and cooked chicken to the rice. Cover. Let rest 30 minutes at room temperature.

*regular white rice works just fine. Jasmine rice is a little pricey.
*Also good: garnish with 2 ripe sliced mangoes.
*This can be used as a side, omitting the chicken, we had it as the main dish with the chicken.

So we make a meal very similiar to this. Except we cook up the chicken with some mango salsa from costco and then top it off with cilantro and toasted coconut.
