One Pot Hainanese Chicken Rice

Ingredients

I love Hainanese chicken rice but 3hrs to make is just not the one so this is a much quicker, 45mins to be exact, easier way to make it yet still obtain all the fragrance & flavours!! Winner winner chicken dinner! Inspo by my girl @groovyfoodiess , check her page out for some banging rice cooker recipes x

Tips:

wash your chicken before placing it in the rice cooker please

I just set the rice cooker on fast cook which is the normal universal setting. It takes 20 mins and then I leave it to sit steaming for another 20 mins before serving!
