Allergens

None

Ingredients

  • 2 cups jasmine rice
  • 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
  • 2 cups water
  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 shallots, thinly sliced
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the jasmine rice, coconut milk, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes.
  2. Preheat grill or broiler to medium high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Grill or broil for 6 7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes, then slice into bite sized pieces.
  3. In a small saucepan of boiling water, gently simmer the eggs for about 4 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking. Once cooled, carefully peel and set aside.
  4. In a small frying pan, heat 1 inch of oil over medium high heat. Fry the sliced shallots until golden brown and crispy, about 2 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  5. To assemble the dish, divide coconut rice among 6 bowls. Top each bowl with a poached egg, grilled chicken pieces, and a sprinkle of fried shallots. Garnish with cilantro leaves and serve immediately.
