Start by shredding the chicken breast and set it aside for later use.

Preheat the oven to 220°C (450°F).

Rub the raw chicken bones with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.

Roast the chicken bones in the oven for about 30 minutes.

Chop the shallots, carrots, and celery; mince the shallots and cut the carrots and celery into larger cubes.

In a pot, heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil and fry the minced garlic and shallots together to flavor the oil.

Add celery salt and black pepper to the pot.

Once the bones are roasted, add them to the pot with the sautéed vegetables.

Wash the jasmine rice, being careful not to wash out too much starch, and add it to the pot with the roasted bones and sautéed vegetables.

Pour in 7-10 cups of chicken broth, depending on desired consistency.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for at least one hour.
