Cooking Steps
While rice cooks, pat chicken dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper. Heat a large drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board to rest.
Meanwhile, wash and dry produce.
Halve tomatoes. Trim and thinly slice scallions. Slice celery into ¼-inch-thick pieces. Peel oranges and cut wedges into bite-size pieces. Drain pineapple. TIP: If you added any other items to your meal (apps, sides, and/or dessert), you can get started on them now!
Melt 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4 servings) in a medium pan over medium heat. Sprinkle flour over butter and cook, stirring, until combined and lightly browned, 30-60 seconds.
Slowly whisk in ⅔ cup water and stock concentrates (1¼ cups water for 4 servings) until smooth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook, whisking frequently, until thickened, 1-3 minutes.
Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired. Remove from heat. TIP: For thinner gravy, whisk in another splash of water.
Fluff rice with a fork.
Slice chicken crosswise.
Divide rice between shallow bowls; spoon gravy over top. Serve chicken, tomatoes, scallions, celery, oranges, pineapple, cheddar, coconut, crispy fried onions, and sweet soy glaze family style so everyone can build their own bowl. (Don’t forget to serve with any extra items you may have ordered to build out your meal!)
