Miso paste and coconut milk are pantry powerhouses because they’re packed with flavor and have a long shelf life. They’re perfect staples for utilizing when you’re short on ingredients, but still want a delicious meal. In this recipe we combine the miso paste and coconut milk for a simple sauce that’s ideal over juicy, perfectly cooked chicken. We liked sugar snap peas for their sweetness in contrast to the savory sauce, but green beans or baby bok choy would also make a great side.

5) After the cook, remove chicken from the Suvie pan, remove from packaging, and cut into bite-size pieces. Fluff rice with a fork. Divide rice and sugar snap peas between plates. Toss chicken with coconut miso sauce and then divide between plates, drizzling extra sauce over each serving. Garnish with cilantro and peanuts.
