Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece (about 200 grams) Chicken breast
- 1 cup Brown rice
- 6 cups Low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 cups Water
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon, sliced Fresh ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon White pepper
- 2 stalks, chopped Green onions
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Cilantro
Instructions
Rinse the brown rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch and prevents the porridge from becoming too thick.
In a large pot, combine the rinsed rice, chicken breast, low-sodium chicken broth, and water.
Add the garlic cloves and sliced ginger to the pot.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot.
Simmer gently for about 45-50 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Once the rice has broken down and the chicken is cooked through, remove the chicken breast from the pot and shred it using two forks.
Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir well to combine.
Season the porridge with salt and white pepper to taste.
Serve the porridge hot, garnished with chopped green onions and cilantro for added freshness and flavor.
