Serving Size: 5

Cooking Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

• 3 Cups uncooked jasmine rice
• 3 Cups water
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) sesame oil
• 2 Cubes chicken bouillon, packaged
• 0.5 Cups olive oil
• 1 Whole green onion, minced
• 2 Whole garlic cloves, minced
• 1 2-inch piece fresh ginger root, minced
• 1 Whole chicken thigh with skin

Steps

1. Prepare the Rice Cooker: Add the jasmine rice, water, sesame oil, chicken bouillon cubes, olive oil, minced green onion, minced garlic, and minced ginger into the rice cooker. Stir the mixture gently to combine all the ingredients.
2. Add the Chicken: Place the chicken thigh on top of the rice mixture, ensuring it is skin-side up to allow the flavors to seep into the rice as it cooks.
3. Cook the Rice: Turn on the rice cooker and let it cook until the rice is tender and the chicken is fully cooked through. This should take approximately 25 minutes, depending on your rice cooker.
4. Mix and Serve: Once the rice is done, carefully remove the chicken thigh and fluff the rice with a fork to evenly distribute the oils and flavors. Serve the rice in bowls, and if desired, shred the chicken and mix it back into the rice or serve it on the side.
5. Garnish and Enjoy: For an extra touch, garnish with additional minced green onions or a sprinkle of sesame seeds before serving. Enjoy your aromatic garlic-infused chicken with fragrant jasmine rice!
