The pieces of chicken can be cooked in chicken stock and added into a white sauce, which is made from corn-flour. The rice is cooked in slightly salted water, either in a pan on the oven hotplate or in a plastic bowl within a microwave until soft to the touch. Once both are cooked, the chicken is placed into the middle of a dinner plate and the rice is added around the outside of the chicken to form a circle. This method can be adapted for any rice based dish.
