Coconut Gopi Paneer-Grilled Chicken and Spinach Rice

Coconut Paneer-Grilled Chicken and Spinach Rice

BLOGGER RECIPE CHALLENGE

I'm honored to be among 30 blogger contestants in the Karoun Dairies Blogger Recipe Challenge. Each blogger was gifted two of the company's products for testing and recipe creation: Karoun Labne and Gopi Paneer.

The flavors of Coconut Gopi Paneer Grilled Chicken and Spinach Rice are reminiscent of one of my favorite dishes; Saag Paneer.

Saag Paneer is a traditional dish eaten in South Asia with bread such as roti or naan also; Sag aloo is a common dish in Pakistani/Indian cuisine, made with handcrafted Paneer.  A creamy soft cheese fried in ghee is added to a sumptuous creamy broth and fresh-cooked spinach or other hearty green leaf vegetables.

RECIPE RIFF: a take on one of my favorites

My recipe is a riff on saag panner incorporating the Karoun Gopi Paneer instead of homemade and served with delightful spinach-infused rice. The sauce is smooth and spicy with a hint of acidity added from freshly squeezed lemon juice. The Gopi Panner and grilled chicken are a robust combination of proteins; perfectly matched for maximum flavor. This is a new family favorite recipe.

This recipe is entered in the Entree Category.

HOW TO MAKE PANNER FROM SCRATCH

I love making homemade Paneer cheese. It was one of the first cheeses I made over 11 years ago. It's so easy to make and super delicious.
