Chicken Congee

Ingredients

• •1 cup jasmine rice
• •4 cups chicken broth
• •1 small onion, diced
• •1 inch piece of fresh ginger, sliced
• •2 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
• •2 green onions, finely chopped
• •1 tbsp soy sauce
• •1 tbsp sesame oil
• •Salt to taste
• •Pepper to taste

Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

2. 2

   In a large pot, combine the rinsed rice, chicken broth, diced onion, sliced ginger, and chicken breasts. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

3. 3

   Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the rice has broken down to create a creamy consistency.

4. 4

   While the congee is cooking, check the chicken. Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts, shred them with two forks, and set aside.

5. 5

   Stir the shredded chicken back into the pot, along with the soy sauce and sesame oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

6. 6

   To serve, ladle the congee into bowls and garnish with finely chopped green onions and additional ginger if desired. Enjoy warm.
