Easy Chicken Rice

Who doesn't love Chicken Rice? Chicken Rice is one of Nathan's most frequently ordered dish when we dine at a kopitiam. At home, I cook 2 versions of it. The first version involves poaching the chicken and using the chicken stock to cook the fragrant rice. This version will be attempted during celebrations such as Chinese New Year. As for the normal, day-to-day version, it will be this Easy Chicken Rice where the chicken is steamed together with the rice. It takes less than an hour to complete.
