Garlic Chicken Rice

This garlic chicken rice recipe is a quick and convenient one for those times you need to put dinner on the table.

In our recipe we’ve used Choice Aromatic Basmati Rice Gold, which we got from one of our partners STO (State Trading Organization). The grains are medium length and when cooked they are fluffy, absorbing all the flavours of the sauces and spices.

As for the cooking, we prepared the whole dish by using a Hitachi Rice Cooker, which was also provided to us by STO. The rice cooker is capable of cooking a variety of rices in addition to white including jasmine, mixed grain, brown, sticky and porridge.
