Chicken Steamed Over Ginger-Garlic Rice
- 2 shallots, halved
- 2 1/4-in. piece ginger, peeled and thickly sliced, divided
- 2 garlic cloves, divided
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cups long-grain rice
- 4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 2 boned, skinned chicken breast halves (about 1 1/2 lbs. total)
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves and tender stems
- 2 scant tbsp. lime juice, plus 2 limes
- 1 green jalapeno chile, sliced and stemmed
- 1 red jalapeno chile, sliced and stemmed
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 1/2 English cucumber, sliced
- Whirl shallots, 2 slices ginger, and 1 garlic clove in a food processor until well chopped. Heat vegetable oil in a 5- to 6-qt. dutch oven over medium heat. Add shallot mixture and cook, stirring, until garlic begins to brown, about 2 minutes. Add rice and stir until well coated in oil.
- Stir in broth and place chicken on top of rice. Cover and cook, without stirring, until chicken is cooked through and rice is tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, puree green onions, remaining ginger and garlic, the cilantro, lime juice, green jalapeno, soy sauce, sesame oil, and 2 tbsp. water in a blender. Transfer to a bowl. Cut limes into wedges.
- Lift chicken from pot and slice. Transfer rice to a platter and arrange chicken on top. Serve with limes, sliced red jalapeno and cucumber, and cilantro-ginger sauce.
- Note: Nutritional analysis is per serving, with 2 tbsp. sauce
