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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
In a large pot, combine the rinsed rice, chicken breast, low-sodium chicken broth, and water.
Step 3
Add the garlic cloves and sliced ginger to the pot.
Step 4
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot.
Step 5
Simmer gently for about 45-50 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir well to combine.
Step 8
Season the porridge with salt and white pepper to taste.
Step 9
Serve the porridge hot, garnished with chopped green onions and cilantro for added freshness and flavor.
