Hainanese Chicken Rice

For tonight dinner I made Hainanese chicken rice. A regular dish I made almost every weekday. Even though I am a bit sick of chicken, as there have been few too many chicken over the weekend that are going nowhere fast, but I had to. 

Why chicken rice? You see I'd to cook while Adam is away for his playschool. Or I don't get to cook at all. I have so many things I want to do in that short period of time. That is the time where I get to go for a jog. That is the time where I get to leisurely browse some books in the library or trying out new recipes. And that is the only time where I get to play with my lens. 

...and that explains the chicken rice. Simple and quick. I can do several other things while boiling the chicken. Laundry, mopping, cleaning, take a shower, and even catch Ellen or Dr. OZ on TV, beside those listed things I mentioned in the previous para. It spelled E.A.S.Y even though it's chicken and I am sick of it. I'll try to subs it with fish..we'll see how. 
Above is Adam's plate. Believe it or not, he finished the whole plate. :D 

PS: I'm not sure where my writing is going as the 3 hours break is almost over.. :P 

PPS: The recipe is taken from Steamy Kitchen

  4. Shirley,

    Really? Make one this weekend. :P I learned to cut the whole chicken through YouTube. It's easier than you think, and all you need is a sharp knife! :D

  7. Your chicken rice looks great. But with too much rich food over the Chinese New Year celebration, my family are crying for something very simple like Teochew porridge.
