Grilled Chicken and Accompaniments

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat well. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    In a pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 2 cups of rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes or until rice is cooked and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.

  3. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Fish Sauce Dressing

    In a small bowl, mix fish sauce, sugar, and water until sugar dissolves. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  5. 5

    Serve the Dish

    On a plate, serve grilled chicken alongside rice, sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, pickled carrots, chopped green onions, and spring rolls. Drizzle with fish sauce dressing.
