    Brown the chicken

    Add the chicken to the pot and sauté it, turning the pieces so they brown on the outside.

    Cook the rice with the chicken

    Add the drained rice and stir. Pour in the chicken broth and fish sauce. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook for about 50 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is very soft. If it thickens sooner, add hot broth a little at a time. Squeeze in the lemon and stir at the end.
