Cooking in the Caymans!

October 3rd, 2007 by Cara

Yesterday, we spent the day at the resort enjoying the pool, taking a few walks on the beach, reading and relaxing. It was truly heavenly. I decided to do a little video of the resort, so hopefully this will work for you. As well here’s a few pics from our day relaxing.

Dinner Fix Cayman Style
My original plan was to blog my families experiences with the Dinner Fix Challenge, but this opportunity to come to Grand Cayman came up so quickly, I haven’t had time to start the Challenge. I did however, get to make a really nice dinner here last night, and it happens to be one of Mackenzie’s favourites. I ended up cheating a little bit and used a seasoning I bought in the grocery store made by www.atasteofthai.com ‘s Chicken & Rice Seasoning as well as canned vegetables to prepare it quicker.

Thai Chicken & Rice One Pot Dinner
INGREDIENTS

2 teaspoons vegetable oil
 
4 pieces boneless skinless, chicken breast (about 1&1/4lbs)
 
Salt and pepper to taste
 
1 packet Chicken & Rice Seasoning (2 inner envelopes)
 
1&1/4 cups uncooked Jasmine Rice
 
2 cups water
 
1 can of sweet potatoes cubed
1 can of potatoes sliced or cubed
1 can of coconut milk
 

DIRECTIONS

1 Salt and pepper chicken. In a large saucepan, heat oil on high and brown chicken. Remove chicken when browned. Set aside.
 
2 Add Jasmine Rice to saucepan and stir to coat rice. Add water, coconut milk and Chicken & Rice Seasoning(both inner envelopes). Stir well to combine.
 
3 Top Rice with chicken and potatoes & sweet potatoes. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer on a low heat 10 minutes.
 
4 Continue to simmer until rice is cooked
