Method
Cooking the Rice
- 1
Prepare the Rice
Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

Cook the Rice
In a medium pot, combine the rinsed rice and 2 cups of water. Add 1 tsp of salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.
Preparing the Chicken

Cook the Chicken
While the rice is cooking, season the chicken breasts with salt. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add a splash of oil and cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through and golden brown. Remove and let rest before slicing.
