A delightful dish that brings the flavors of Chinese cuisine to your dinner table in no time!

1

Start by cooking the rice. Rinse 1 cup of rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then add it to a pot with 2 cups of water. Bring it to a boil, then lower the heat and cover the pot. Let it simmer for about 15 minutes until all the water is absorbed. Once done, fluff it with a fork and set aside.

2

While the rice is cooking, prepare the chicken. Cut 2 pieces of chicken breast into bite-sized cubes. In a bowl, mix the chopped chicken with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Set aside to marinate for about 10 minutes.

3

Next, finely chop 6 cloves of garlic, 1 piece of ginger, and 2 stalks of green onion. The ginger adds a nice warmth, while the garlic infuses the dish with flavor.

4

In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken pieces, cooking until they are golden brown and fully cooked, about 7-8 minutes.

5

Add the chopped garlic, ginger, and green onion to the skillet. Stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

6

Pour in 2 more tablespoons of soy sauce and give everything a good mix to combine. Cook for another minute, allowing the sauce to coat the chicken.

7

Serve the garlic chicken over the prepared rice and garnish with additional green onion if desired. Enjoy your meal!
