CHIEF UNFLAVOURED COLLAGEN PROTEIN POWDER
Chief Nutrition Unflavoured Collagen Protein Powder boosts the protein and collagen content of this congee without any junk, artificial additives, or bloat found in many protein powders, helping to support gut lining repair, joint health, and skin elasticity. Being unflavoured, it blends seamlessly into the broth and lets the ginger, turmeric, and savoury chicken flavours shine through, exactly as they should.
GINGER

Ginger is packed with gingerol, a powerful compound known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, along with natural compounds that help soothe digestion, ease nausea, and support a healthy gut. 

GARLIC 

Garlic is rich in allicin, a natural compound known for its antibacterial, antiviral, and immune-boosting properties, along with antioxidants that help support heart health and reduce inflammation. It's also been shown to support gut health by encouraging the growth of good bacteria, making it a great addition to a dish focused on nourishing digestion from the inside out. 

Ingredients

  • 1 cup medium grain organic rice

  • 3 tbsp sliced ginger

  • 3 cloves of garlic, roughly chopped

  • 2 heaped tbsp Chief Nutrition Unflavoured Collagen Protein

  • 1 cup chicken bone broth

  • 1 cup chicken stock

  • 2.5 cups water

  • 2 tbsp fish sauce

  • 2 tbsp tamari sauce

  • Handful of roughly chopped spring onion 
  • Tamari marinated boiled egg 
  • Handful organic fried shallots (optional) 
  • Drizzle of tamari

Directions

  1. To a large dutch oven or pot, add the ginger, garlic, bone broth, stock, water and collagen. Mix well to combine and bring to a boil. 
  2. Once boiling, add your rice and reduce down to a simmer. Cover and leave for around 20 minutes (you may need to mix intermittently to avoid the rice from sticking to the bottom). 
  3. Add in the spring onion, fish sauce, tamari, salt and pepper. Cover and leave for another 20 minutes. Add in the chicken, mix and cover for another 20 minutes or until the rice has the liquid to your liking. Take off the heat and adjust the seasoning (salt and pepper) again to your liking, and add additional cups of water as needed to loosen. 
  4. Transfer to a bowl to serve. Dig in and enjoy!
