instructions
    1

    Rinse 1 cup of white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium pot, combine the rice with 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18 minutes until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.

    2

    While the rice cooks, chop 1 pound of chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Mince 2 cloves of garlic and 1 clove of ginger. Set aside.

    3

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

    4

    Add the chopped chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes until it's no longer pink and cooked through, stirring frequently.

    5

    While the chicken is cooking, chop 1 cup of broccoli into florets and slice 1 carrot into thin rounds. Add the vegetables to the skillet and sauté for an additional 5 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.

    6

    Pour 3 tablespoons of soy sauce over the chicken and vegetables, and mix well to ensure everything is evenly coated. Cook for another minute.

    7

    Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and portion it into serving bowls. Spoon the chicken and vegetable mixture over the rice.

    8

    Finally, slice 2 stalks of green onion and sprinkle them on top of the Chicken Rice Bowls as a fresh garnish before serving.

How to be creative
  • Use brown rice or quinoa instead of white rice for a healthier option.
  • Add a soft-boiled egg on top for extra richness.
  • Incorporate different vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas for added flavor and color.
Important Tips
  • Marinate the chicken in soy sauce for 30 minutes before cooking for deeper flavor.
  • Don’t overcook the vegetables; you want them to be vibrant and crunchy.
  • Use fresh ginger and garlic for the best flavor impact.
