Chicken-and-Mushroom Congee image

Congee is a savory rice porridge popular in many Asian countries. This recipe elevates congee to dinner status by incorporating flavorful chicken thighs for protein. Creamy and mild, it is the perfect canvas for dressing up with lively, umami-rich mix-ins like shiitake mushrooms, sesame oil, and chili sauce.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (4 to 5)
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
3/4 cup short-grain white rice, such as arborio
1 (2-inch) piece ginger, peeled and halved lengthwise
4 scallions, white and light-green parts separated from dark-green tops
Kosher salt
6 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and cut into 1/2-inch slices
Sesame oil and chili sauce, such as sambal oelek, for serving

Steps:

  • In a pot, bring chicken, broth, rice, half of ginger, scallion white and light-green parts, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 4 cups water to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; partially cover and simmer, stirring a few times, until chicken is just cooked through, about 20 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate.
  • Increase heat to medium and stir in mushrooms; boil, uncovered, until rice breaks down and mixture is creamy, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, remove and discard skin and bones from chicken; shred meat into bite-size pieces. Remove ginger and scallions from congee; discard.
  • Thinly slice scallion tops; thinly slice remaining half of ginger into matchstick-size pieces. Stir chicken meat and any accumulated juices into congee and serve topped with scallion tops, ginger, sesame oil, and chili sauce.

This congee was easy to make and turned out great. I used brown rice instead of white rice, and it was still delicious. I also added some chopped carrots and celery to the mix.

This chicken and mushroom congee was a hit with my family! The rice was cooked perfectly, and the chicken and mushrooms were tender and flavorful. I also loved the addition of the ginger and green onions, which gave the dish a nice fresh flavor.
