Easy One-Pan Chicken Rice Meal 一锅熟的鸡饭

This easy one-pan chicken rice meal is sure to become a family favourite. Well, at least the home cook would love this. Less washing, easy preparation and flavourful. And, best of all, it's a great idea for last minute meal. 

I used to cook sushi rice in a saucepan, pre-soak the rice and it only takes 10 minutes cooking time. I modified the method, added the ingredients that I adapted from here and here goes my quick, easy and delicious chicken rice recipe. Hope you'll like it too. :)

Turned out so fragrant and with some claypot-chicken-rice-style crisp. Superb.

一锅熟的鸡饭，做法非常简单。预先把米浸泡好，用平时煮即食面的锅来煮，十五分钟就能吃了。方便又健康，非常适合忙碌的上班族。我不用上班，但因为孩子爱吃鸡饭，当我忙的时候，就用这个煮法。

Ideal to pack in kids lunch box.
