- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 680 g chicken breast or thighs
- 1 medium white onion, diced

Instructions
- Marinate the chicken with soy sauce, water, and brown sugar; let it sit while preparing other ingredients.
- Cook the chicken in a large pan with olive oil, browning it on both sides until cooked through.

Notes
Use day-old rice for best texture; avoid fresh rice that tends to be sticky.
Feel free to substitute ingredients based on availability; for example, use coconut sugar instead of brown sugar.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
