One Pot Chicken and Rice in Rice Cooker

Ingredients

• 250 g Chicken thighs (boneless, skinless, cut into bite-sized pieces)
• 1 cup White rice (washed and drained)
• 3 Garlic (cloves, minced)
• 1 tsp Ginger (freshly grated or minced)
• 1 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Oyster sauce
• 1 tsp Sesame oil
• 1 cup Chicken broth (or water, adjusted to rice cooker line)
• 1 Green onions (stalk, sliced for garnish)

Steps

1. 1

   Rinse 1 cup of white rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain and add it to the rice cooker pot.

2. 2

   Add the bite-sized chicken thigh pieces on top of the rice.

3. 3

   Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot.

4. 4

   Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil.

5. 5

   Add the chicken broth (or water). Ensure the liquid level reaches the appropriate 1-cup mark on your rice cooker bowl, or slightly above if you prefer softer rice.

6. 6

   Close the lid and set the rice cooker to the standard 'White Rice' or 'Cook' setting.

7. 7

   Once the rice cooker switches to 'Warm', let it sit for 5 minutes. Open the lid and fluff the rice with a paddle, mixing the chicken and seasonings thoroughly.

8. 8

   Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can sear the chicken in a pan for 2 minutes before adding it to the rice cooker, though it is not necessary for this 'one-pot' method. If using brown rice, increase the liquid and cooking time according to your machine's settings.
