Rice Field Hai Nan Chicken with Rice & Vegetables (Bone-In)

Bone-in pieces of poached chicken give this frozen Hai Nan meal its richer, more traditional character, since the bones keep the meat moist and add savory depth to every bite. The chicken rests on rice cooked in chicken fat and ginger, with a portion of vegetables alongside, recreating the Hainanese chicken rice served across Southeast Asia.

Steam or microwave the tray from frozen until the chicken and rice are heated through, then serve with the classic trio of ginger-scallion oil, chili sauce, and a little dark soy. The bone-in cut rewards eating it the proper way, picking the tender meat from the bone, and stands up well to a side of cucumber or extra greens.

This generous 32 oz tray (item 501) is a larger portion meant to feed a hungry diner or to share, and the bones are part of the dish. Keep it frozen until cooking and reheat directly from the freezer. For a quicker, fork-only meal, see our 14 oz boneless version.
