The Chicken Rice You’ll Want to Make Again and Again
So Easy, anyone can cook it
I am someone who loves cooking but sometimes I just don’t feel like doing it. Still that’s not really an option when you have a family or even if you live alone and are used to eating home cooked meals. This Hainanese Chicken Rice is perfect for those days. It’s not just simple and easy to make with only a few ingredients but it’s also super delicious and leaves very little mess behind.
Why I Like This Recipe
If you love food that’s not too spicy this recipe will be a big hit. The rice has a very mild flavour and the chicken turns out soft and juicy. You can really taste the green onion topping in every bite. If you’re not a fan of green onions just skip them. But if you love them like I do you’ll fall in love with this recipe again and again.
Even my 5-year-old who prefers mild food with no strong spices not only liked it but also appreciated it so that’s a big thumbs up from her! I’ll definitely be making this one more often.
