I’ve been craving Cơm Gà Hải Nam, Vietnamese Chicken Rice for the past few weeks. When the girls didn’t know what they wanted for dinner today, I stopped by the store on the way home from picking them up from school and spent about $20 on ingredients to make a simple, delicious, comforting chicken and rice meal for the whole family. Love all the gingery aromatic goodness and moist and tender slow simmered chicken. I added turmeric to the broth to make the chicken skin extra yellow. Can’t wait share the recipe reel!
