Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by mincing 4 cloves of fresh garlic and grating a 1-inch piece of ginger; set these fragrant aromatics aside.

  3. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger and let them cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Pour in ¼ cup of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, and 1 cup of chicken stock into the skillet. Stir gently to combine.
  5. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet. Let the chicken simmer for 15-20 minutes.
  6. While the chicken simmers, prepare your rice according to package instructions.
  7. Serve the chicken over a bed of fluffy rice, ladling the aromatic garlic ginger broth generously over the top.
