Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pat chicken dry, then sear until edges turn golden, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
Step 2
Add minced garlic to the same skillet. Cook 30 seconds until fragrant, then pour in coconut milk, vinegar, and soy sauce, scraping up any browned bits.
Step 3
Return chicken to the skillet. Add bay leaves and black pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Step 4
Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and sauce thickens slightly.
Step 5
Taste and adjust with salt or vinegar as needed. Remove bay leaves. Serve hot over rice.
