Instructions
Creating this mouthwatering One Pot Chinese Chicken and Rice is easy if you follow these steps:
1. Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, combine chicken pieces with soy sauce and sesame oil. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
2. Heat Oil: In a large pot over medium heat, add vegetable oil. Once hot, add chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
3. Sauté Garlic and Ginger: Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot, stirring until fragrant (about 1 minute).
4. Cook Chicken: Add the marinated chicken pieces to the pot. Cook until browned on all sides (around 5-7 minutes).
5. Add Rice: Stir in the long-grain rice and mix well, allowing the rice to toast slightly for about 2 minutes.
6. Add Broth and Vegetables: Pour in the chicken broth and add the mixed vegetables. Stir well to combine.
7. Season: Add oyster sauce, salt, and pepper to taste, stirring to incorporate all ingredients.
8. Cook: Bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and cover the pot. Allow it to simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
9. Rest: Remove the pot from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
