1

Start by preparing the rice. Use short green Japanese rice and place it in a rice cooker.

2

For the broth, take a large Dutch oven and add the chicken split breasts skin side up.

3

Add parsley stems, halved garlic heads, sliced ginger, dark green parts of scallions, kosher salt, and enough water to cover the chicken (about 6 cups).

4

Bring the broth to a boil on the stove.

5

Once boiling, flip the chicken over for even cooking.

6

Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 150 to 155 degrees Fahrenheit, checking after about 10 to 20 minutes.

7

While the chicken cooks, prepare the parsley scallion sauce by finely chopping the white parts of scallions and adding them to a bowl.

8

Chop the parsley leaves and add them to the bowl with the scallions.

9

Juice a lime into the bowl, using a squeezer, and add some extra virgin olive oil. Toss the mixture and set aside.

10

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pot and let it rest on a cutting board for a few minutes.

11

Take the skin off the chicken, then debone it, cutting the meat into larger sections.

12

Scoop some rice onto a plate, add the chicken on top, and ladle some broth over it.

13

Finish with the parsley scallion sauce and a sprinkle of flaky salt.
