#week1of5 - This recipe is based on a Vietnamese style comforting breakfast of chicken and rice congee called Chao Ga. A wholesome and a nutritious first meal of the day, it is a heart warming and a soothing food.

Very few ingredients are required to dish out this amazing and yummy one-pot wonder. The thickness of the porridge can be adjusted according to individual preference. I have used brown rice instead, along with some nuts, that is not generally added. This is my touch.

Garnish as desired with your favorite toppings and enjoy. I served with some chopped coriander leaves, fried onion, red chili flakes, boiled egg and lime wedges. You may also drizzle some soy / chili / tomato sauce for added flavour.
