Chicken Ginger Rice

A flavorful and comforting dish combining tender chicken, fragrant ginger, and fluffy rice, perfect for a quick and delicious meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the grated ginger, minced garlic, and chopped onion. Sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until lightly browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
  4. Stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.
  5. Add the rinsed rice to the skillet and stir to combine with the chicken mixture.
  6. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and liquid is absorbed.
  7. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.
  8. Fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with sliced green onions. Adjust salt if needed.
  9. Serve hot and enjoy your flavorful chicken ginger rice!
