Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 2 tbsp Sesame oil
- 1 tsp Fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 cups Uncooked jasmine rice
- 2.5 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Carrot (diced)
- 0.5 cup Frozen peas
- 1 tbsp Black sesame seeds (for garnish)
- 2 stalks Green onions (sliced, for garnish)
Instructions
Cut the boneless, skinless chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces. Stir to coat evenly, then let the chicken marinate for 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
In the rice cooker pot, add the rinsed jasmine rice, chicken broth, diced carrots, and the marinated chicken (along with all of the marinade). Stir gently to combine.
Place the rice cooker pot into the rice cooker and close the lid. Set the rice cooker to the 'white rice' or standard cooking mode and press start.
When the rice cooker switches to 'keep warm' mode, open the lid and quickly add the frozen peas on top of the rice. Close the lid again and let the peas steam for 5 minutes.
Fluff the rice gently with a rice paddle or fork, mixing in the peas evenly.
Serve the sesame chicken rice hot, garnished with black sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
