Preparation
1
Prepare and cook the rice: Turn on the oven to 375F. In the sink, place the rice in a strainer and rinse it well. In a pot, add the rice, water (1 1/3 cup, 2 2/3 cup), salt (1/8 tsp, 1/4 tsp) and pepper (1 pinch, 1/8 tsp) and stir. Bring to a boil on high heat. Reduce the heat to medium/low, cover and cook 25 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove the pot from the heat and set aside.

Cook the chicken: While the rice is cooking, place the Thai spiced chicken breast on a non stick lined baking sheet, coat the chicken with oil (1/4 tbs, 1/2 tbs) and sprinkle with salt (1/8 tbs, 1/4 tbs). Once the oven is hot, bake the chicken for 15-20 minutes*. Let rest for about 5 minutes and cut the chicken in 1/2 cm slices.
*Note: Ensure the chicken is cooked to a minimum internal temperature of 165F. If the chicken breast is small if may be cooked in 15 minutes.
