Instructions

- Combine chicken breasts with the marinade in a resealable bag, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook in boiling chicken broth for about 15 minutes, or until fluffy and tender.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high. Grill the marinated chicken for 6–7 minutes per side until cooked through.

Marinating the chicken for longer will enhance its flavor. Use fresh ingredients for best results.
