One-Pot Gingery Chicken and Rice With Peanut Sauce
266 ratings
We took loose inspiration from Hainanese chicken rice to create this weeknight-friendly dish that retains the comforting and fragrant qualities of the beloved original. Seek out the highest-quality basmati rice you can find (we recommend Daawat brand)—it will make a world of difference in yielding supremely fluffy, evenly cooked rice.
