MAIN DISH

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (or any cooking oil)

  • 1-2 tablespoons Fingerlakes Honey Company Zinger Seasoning

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for extra heat)

  • 1 can (13.6 oz.) full-fat coconut milk (or heavy cream)

  • 1 bag (12 oz.) frozen peas & carrots

  • 1 tablespoon Fingerlakes Honey Company Honey

  • 3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (or cook your own)

  • Optional: ¼ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro, 2 tablespoons lime juice


For serving:

  • Basmati rice

DIRECTIONS

  1. Aromatics: Heat coconut oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add Zinger Seasoning, salt, and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Reduce heat or add a splash of water if it starts to burn.

  2. Peas and Carrots: Pour in the coconut milk, increase heat to medium-high, and whisk until fully combined. Add peas and carrots and honey. Stir and let cook for about 5 minutes, until veggies are tender and sauce thickens slightly.

  3. Chicken: Stir in the shredded chicken, gently mixing to coat in the sauce without breaking it down too much. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, until heated through.

  4. Finish & Serve: Remove from heat and, if desired, mix in lime juice and cilantro. Adjust seasoning if needed. Serve over cooked basmati rice, garnished with extra lime wedges.


Serving suggestions: We love this dish over cooked rice. Here's the quickest/easiest way to get perfect basmati rice (must use basmati for this to work!)

  1. Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil.

  2. Add salt and the uncooked basmati rice.

  3. Cook for 6 minutes, then drain and fluff with a fork.

  4. Enjoy perfectly cooked rice every time!

My friends and I absolutely love this jalapeño honey peach jam. It has just enough kick with the jalapeños. Delicious on bread or crackers!
