Step 1
For the chicken marinade: Whisk together the oil, lemon juice, salt, coriander, cumin and garlic in a large bowl. Add the chicken breasts and marinate, refrigerated, for 4 hours or up to 24 hours.
Step 2
For the chicken arroz caldo: Place a frying pan with the olive oil on the stove and bring to a medium-hot temperature.
Step 3
Cook the chicken in the pan for 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Remove to a cutting board. Chop.
Step 4
Place the Jasmine Rice in large pan, then add the scallions, carrots and 4 cups of the chicken stock.
Step 5
Heat the rice mixture, slowly adding the remaining 1 to 2 cups chicken stock and stirring with a spoon until it has a creamy consistency. Stir in the fish sauce.
Step 6
Bring a small pot of water to a strong simmer, then add the eggs and poach for 2 1/2 minutes.
Step 7
To assemble the dish: Place the creamy rice in 4 bowls, then place a chicken breast on each. Add the chiles to the creamy chicken rice. Top each bowl with a poached egg, then garnish with the cilantro.
Step 8
Heat the olive oil with the garlic and ginger in a pot until fragrant, 5 to 6 minutes. Swirl the pot so the garlic and ginger cook equally, then add the stock and rice.
Step 9
Bring to a simmer, then place a lid on the pot so the rice slowly steams. Cook for 20 minutes.
