Ingredients

• Chicken breast - 300 grams
• Jasmine rice - 150 grams
• Chicken broth - 500 ml
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 inch, sliced
• Green onions - 2, chopped
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Cucumber - 1, sliced
• Salt - to taste
• Pepper - to taste

Steps

1. In a pot, bring 500 ml of chicken broth to a boil. Add the chicken breast, ginger, and garlic. Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.
2. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside to rest. Keep the broth for cooking the rice.
3. In a separate bowl, rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch.
4. In the same pot with the chicken broth, add the rinsed rice and bring it to a boil. Then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook for about 15 minutes or until the rice is fluffy and fully cooked.
5. While the rice is cooking, prepare the dipping sauce by mixing soy sauce and sesame oil in a small bowl.
6. Slice the poached chicken into thin strips and serve it over the fragrant rice, garnished with chopped green onions and cucumber slices.
7. Drizzle the dipping sauce over the chicken and rice, and enjoy your delicious Chicken Rice!
