Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup sticky rice (also known as glutinous rice)
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1 medium onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon sesame oil
– 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
– 1/2 cup green onions, chopped
– 1/2 cup carrots, finely diced
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh cilantro, for garnish
– Olive oil, for searing the chicken


Instructions

Creating Sticky Rice Stuffed Chicken Breast can be achieved easily by following these steps:

1. Rinse and Soak the Rice: Rinse the sticky rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
2. Prepare the Filling: Drain the rice and place it in a pot with the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for another 10 minutes.
3. Sauté Veggies: In a skillet, add sesame oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion, garlic, ginger, and carrots until softened.
4. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooked sticky rice with the sautéed vegetables, soy sauce, and chopped green onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Prepare Chicken: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Carefully slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket without cutting all the way through.
6. Stuff the Chicken: Fill each chicken breast pocket with the sticky rice mixture, pressing gently to fit.
7. Secure the Filling: Use toothpicks or kitchen twine to secure the openings of the chicken breast, preventing the filling from spilling out.
8. Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
9. Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
10. Rest and Slice: Once cooked, allow the chicken to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This step ensures that the juices remain locked in for maximum flavor.
