Easy Chicken Congee Recipe
Chicken congee is a type of porridge made primarily from chicken and rice. It has a delicate and smooth texture and is heartwarming and comforting. It’s a popular and delicious dish that I often enjoy. My grandmother's specialty is chicken congee, and she passed down her recipe to me. Today, I’m excited to share this mouthwatering recipe with you all.
INGREDIENTS
- 60g millet
- 5g shredded chicken breast
DIRECTIONS
Prepare the Ingredients:
Rinse 60g of millet thoroughly.
Cook 5g of fresh chicken breast until fully cooked, then shred into small pieces.
Wash and prepare 5g each of minced celery, green peas, minced onion, and diced carrot. Cut the celery, carrot, and onion into small pieces.
Prepare a clean pot and heat it up. Add 3g of butter.
Tip:
Butter can be substituted with other cooking oils, but I find butter adds a richer flavor.
Add 5g of minced onion to the pot and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Then add 60g of millet and stir-fry until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
Tip:
Be cautious with the heat; medium-low heat is sufficient.
Add 5g of minced celery and 5g of shredded chicken breast.
Tip:
Since the carrots and green peas are already cooked, hold off on adding them now. If using raw carrots and peas, you can add them at this stage.
Add the prepared chicken broth (200ml).
Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat.
Cover the pot and simmer for 30 minutes. Stir every 10 minutes to prevent sticking.
After 30 minutes, add the precooked 5g diced carrot and 5g green peas. Stir well.
Continue cooking for another 5-10 minutes.
Once done, garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
