This is a simple home made chicken rice recipe that I usually make to go with my roast chicken. Sometimes I would just buy the chicken from El Pollo Loco and cook the rice to go with it.
Chicken Rice
Serves 2-3 adults
1/2 cup jasmine rice
1/2 cup basmathi rice
2" ginger, pounded
1 cube chicken stock
1 3/4 cup water
1/3 tsp turmeric powder
salt & sugar to taste
3 tbsp veggie oil
1. In a bowl, mix water with turmeric powder and chicken stock.
2. In a pot, heat the oil and saute ginger until fragrant.
3. Add in rice and stir a couple of times.
4. Add water and turn the heat to high.
5. Add salt and sugar to taste and stir a few more times. Let it boil.
6. Cover and simmer for 20-25 min, depending on your stove.
7. Once cooked, let it sit for 5-10 min (covered).
Served warm with Roast Chicken. Garnish with fried shallot/onion.
* If you are using chicken broth instead of cubed chicken stock, just replace the amount of water with chicken broth. Too much water/broth will make your rice too starchy.
** Cup mentioned for rice is regular measurement cup and not rice cup. I do not have rice cup. ;)

Bulan puasa nanti sedap berbuka dengan nasi ayam ni.selamat berpuasa!
Oh that sounds good. We are going to have to make that soon!
How funny! I do not have a regular measurement cup--only rice cups :) I only recently discovered that the Asian rice cups are smaller than 8 ounces. No wonder I'm a terrible baker! Lol.
Both the roasted chicken and the rice look really yummy!!! I'm pretty much an idiot in the kitchen when it comes to rice so I have to ask: is there any particular reason for using two types of rice?
Can't wait to use your recipe proportions, maybe my rice won't come out as starchy this time :)
Zue, ini memang sedap makan untuk buka puasa. Berbaloi puasa!
Dangarion, thank you. ;)
Lauren, me neither! lol. I use tupperware. either way, the water portion is the same.
Lore, thank you. I used 2 types of rice because basmathi is a bit grainy while jasmine is starchy. I use basmathi when im making briyani rice while for chicken rice, I like it to be softer.
Thanks for answering Farina! It all makes sense for me now :)
You're most welcome Lore.
ayam tu nampak sungguh laa sedap...
ok....tmbh another menu for u to make bila balik malaysia nanti...muahhahahahhh
Interesting way of making chicken rice, have to give it a try !! Thanks for sharing
Thank you for sharing why you used two kinds of rice, like Lore I was curious. Looks yummy.
farah, kalau kat Kl abg nie beli aje dari restaurant kat d'sara height tu. muahaha!
Jin Hooi, welcome! Do give ther recipe a try and come back and let me know how it turned out ok? ;)
Chou, welcome. It is my pleasure in sharing recipes. ;)
Oh yummy!!! It's interesting you used tumeric. I have to try this one. I usually made this with sesame oil.
Hi, I'm thinking of trying out your chicken rice recipe as well as the accompanying roast chicken recipe as it sounds delicious. If i were to use jasmine rice only how much water/stock should I add? Is 1 3/4 cup sufficient? Also how much salt and sugar? Thanks if u can reply asap.
Lilian, if you're using jasmine rice only, use the same amount of water/chicken stock like you normally do when you cook your rice. Maybe 1 2/3cup because you dont want the rice to get too soggy. Salt n sugar depends on your tastebud. Add a little bit of both, stir and taste.
