Instructions

1. 1.
   Begin by cooking the jasmine rice according to package instructions, ensuring it’s fluffy and fragrant. Set aside and keep warm while you prepare the chicken.
2. 2.
   Heat the vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the sliced chicken breast. Cook the chicken for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until it’s golden brown and cooked through. Ensure the chicken is no longer pink in the center before removing it from the skillet.
3. 3.
   Reduce the skillet heat to medium and add the finely chopped ginger. Sauté the ginger for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn. Stir continuously to prevent it from sticking to the pan.
4. 4.
   Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, along with the sliced scallions. Toss them together with the ginger, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated for about 2-3 minutes. The scallions should become vibrant green and slightly tender.
5. 5.
   To serve, plate the chicken over the prepared jasmine rice. Ensure all of the ginger and scallion mixture is evenly distributed. For extra flavor, drizzle any pan juices over the dish before serving.
