Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Have all ingredients ready.

   

2. 2 Clean the chicken breast, remove the fat and fascia on the surface, then cut it in half horizontally into two pieces, and then lightly pat it with the back of a knife to make the chicken breast softer and easier to taste.

   

3. 3 Sprinkle some salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides of the chicken breasts and rub evenly.

   

4. 4 Put the chicken breast into a bowl, add light soy sauce, cooking wine and minced garlic, mix well and marinate for half an hour to add flavor.

   

5. 5 While the chicken breasts are marinating, prepare the chestnut rice. Break the chestnuts into small pieces at will, no need to crush them too much.

   

6. 6 Add water to the triangular kettle of the Qiao Ke sugar-removing rice cooker. I cook two cups of rice, so the water level is set to the number "2".

8. 8 Wash the rice, drain the water, and then pour it into the Zhen.

12. 12 Add 5ml of olive oil to a non-stick pan, heat for 20 seconds, then add chicken breasts.

    

13. 13 Fry both sides for 15 seconds over medium heat until the color of both sides of the chicken breast turns slightly white.

16. 16 Fry the chicken breasts on both sides until golden brown, transfer to a plate and set aside.
