chicken congee

Asian poultry soup

Chicken congee is a rice porridge made by simmering rice in broth until it breaks down into a thick, creamy consistency, topped or cooked with chicken.

A comfort food across East and Southeast Asian cuisines, it's often served to the sick or as a warming breakfast: When I had the flu, my grandmother made me chicken congee.
