One Pot dinner - Chicken rice

After trying the yam rice, I have decided to cook chicken rice for dinner. Was out having breakfast with my children. We went to a wonton noodle stall and saw nice char siew (roast sweet pork). Decided to buy some home as additional dish to our chicken rice dinner. After breakfast went to nearby market to buy chicken. Wanted to get chicken thighs but what was left were some chicken breast cause it was almost noon. Am lucky too the market is not closed yet.
