Preparation

Step 1

In a small pot, bring stock and butter to low boil. Stir in rice and cover, reduce heat to low simmer and cook 2 minutes. Turn off heat, do not remove lid and let stand 10 minutes.

Place sauce ingredients in another small pot and bring to a boil. Let reduce by about half, 15 minutes at medium, at a low boil.
Add about 2 tablespoons cooking oil to a skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Season chicken with light salt and more aggressively pepper, cook 8-9 minutes, turning occasionally, remove. Add peppers and stir 2-3 minutes but let them remain tender-crisp. Add scallions and toss 1 minute more, remove from heat.
Slice chicken across the breast into piece 1/2-inch thick.
Arrange rice on plates or in shallow bowls and top with peppers, scallions and chicken. Drizzle the sauce evenly over the chicken and rice, and serve.
