Step 1

Cook & finish the rice

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. In a medium pot, combine the rice, a big pinch of salt, and 2 cup of water. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook, without stirring, 12 to 14 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Turn off the heat; fluff with a fork. Stir in the sautéed aromatics until combined. Transfer to a large bowl. Wipe out the pot; fill 3/4 of the way up with salted water. Cover and heat to boiling on high.

Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper on both sides. Evenly coat 2 seasoned chicken breasts with enough of the togarashi to coat. Evenly coat the remaining seasoned chicken breasts with the oregano. In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned chicken. Cook 6 to 7 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through.* Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a cutting board. When cool enough to handle, slice crosswise.  *An instant-read thermometer should register 165°F.
