• 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.

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.
