Main Ingredients- 1 bowl of cooked rice (warm)
- 110g chicken breast tenders (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 1/4 onion (finely chopped)
- 1/4 broccoli (separated into florets and finely chopped)
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp mirin (or cooking wine)
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp ketchup
- Pinch of salt (to taste)
- 100g shredded pizza cheese
Creamy White Sauce Ingredients- 20g butter
- 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- 200ml milk
- Pinch of salt (to taste)
- Pinch of black pepper (for flavor)
- 20g butter
- 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- 200ml milk
- Pinch of salt (to taste)
- Pinch of black pepper (for flavor)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, cut the chicken breast tenders into bite-sized pieces, about 1 to 1.5 cm. To remove any gamey odor and season, mix them with 1 Tbsp of mirin, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Let them marinate for about 5 minutes. (You can also use tender chicken thigh or breast meat.)
Step 2
Wash the onion and broccoli thoroughly. Finely chop them so they integrate well into the fried rice. Feel free to add other vegetables you have on hand, like carrots, zucchini, or bell peppers, for a more vibrant dish.
Step 3
Heat a lightly oiled pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Then, add the chopped onion and broccoli. Stir-fry over medium-high heat until the vegetables are slightly softened and translucent.
Step 4
Once the vegetables are partially cooked, add the marinated chicken tenders to the pan. Continue to stir-fry until the chicken is completely cooked through and no longer pink. Break up any clumps of chicken as you stir.
Step 5
When the chicken is fully cooked, add the warm cooked rice to the pan. Use a spatula or spoon to break up the rice and toss everything together until well combined. Stir gently to ensure the rice doesn’t clump.
Step 6
Now, let’s add the flavor boosters! Pour in 1 Tbsp of soy sauce and 1 Tbsp of ketchup. Stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes, ensuring the sauces are evenly distributed throughout the rice and ingredients.
Step 7
Give everything a final toss to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed. Taste and adjust the seasoning with a pinch of salt if needed. Your delicious chicken breast fried rice is now ready!
Step 8
Now, let’s make the creamy white sauce, the heart of the Doria. In a saucepan or skillet, melt the 20g of butter over low heat. Once melted, add the 2 Tbsp of flour and whisk until smooth, forming a roux. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly, to develop a nutty flavor.
Step 9
Keeping the heat low, gradually pour in the 200ml of cold milk while whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Continue stirring and cooking until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. If the sauce becomes too thick, you can add a little more milk.
Step 10
Prepare an oven-safe gratin dish or a similar heatproof dish. Spread 2-3 tablespoons of the white sauce evenly over the bottom of the dish. This layer will add moisture to the rice.
Step 11
Carefully spoon the prepared chicken fried rice into the dish over the white sauce. Smooth out the top of the fried rice for an even layer. Then, spread the remaining white sauce evenly over the fried rice.
Step 12
It’s time for the cheese! Generously sprinkle the 100g of shredded pizza cheese evenly over the white sauce and fried rice, covering it completely. The cheese will melt and bind everything together beautifully.
Step 13
Place the Doria in a preheated oven at 190°C (375°F). Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown. Baking time may vary depending on your oven.
Step 14
Carefully remove the Doria from the oven. Your hot and delicious Chicken Doria is ready! For an extra touch, sprinkle some dried parsley over the top. Enjoy it immediately while it’s piping hot!
