🛒 Ingredients

✓ 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (day-old, chilled)
✓ 2 tbsp light olive oil
✓ 6 cloves garlic, minced
✓ 1/2 tsp sea salt
✓ 1/4 tsp white pepper
✓ 1 whole egg + 1 egg white
✓ 1 tbsp neutral oil for frying eggs
✓ 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Marinate the Halal Chicken: In a bowl, combine yogurt, apple cider vinegar, paprika, cumin, cayenne, garlic powder, and salt. Add chicken pieces and toss well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor).

2. Toast the Garlic Rice: Heat 2 tbsp light olive oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and stir constantly for 1 minute until fragrant but not burnt. Add chilled rice, breaking up clumps with the back of a wooden spoon. Season with salt and white pepper.

3. Get the Rice Golden: Continue tossing rice over medium-high heat for 7–9 minutes until you hear a light crackling sound and see golden, crispy edges on the grains. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.

4. Sear the Halal Chicken: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a separate skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add marinated chicken without crowding. Sear for 3–4 minutes per side until golden-brown and cooked through (internal temp 165°F/74°C). Transfer to a plate and loosely cover with foil.

5. Cook the Onions: In the same skillet (don't clean it—use those flavor bits), sauté sliced onions over medium heat for 3–4 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized. Toss with cooked chicken and fresh parsley.

6. Fry the Eggs: In a clean non-stick skillet, heat 1 tbsp neutral oil over medium heat. Crack the whole egg and 1 egg white into the pan. Fry sunny-side up for 2–3 minutes until whites are set but yolk remains runny. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

7. Plate & Serve: Divide garlic rice between two bowls. Top each with halal chicken and caramelized onions, then crown with a fried egg. Garnish with fresh cilantro and fresh parsley. Serve immediately while the yolk is still warm.
