2 shallots, halved
2 1/4-in. piece ginger, peeled and thickly sliced, divided
2 garlic cloves, divided
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups long-grain rice
4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 boned, skinned chicken breast halves (about 1 1/2 lbs. total)
2 green onions, chopped
1 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves and tender stems
2 scant tbsp. lime juice, plus 2 limes
1 green jalapeno chile, sliced and stemmed

2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil

1
Whirl shallots, 2 slices ginger, and 1 garlic clove in a food processor until well chopped. Heat vegetable oil in a 5- to 6-qt. dutch oven over medium heat. Add shallot mixture and cook, stirring, until garlic begins to brown, about 2 minutes. Add rice and stir until well coated in oil.
2
Stir in broth and place chicken on top of rice. Cover and cook, without stirring, until chicken is cooked through and rice is tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
3
Meanwhile, puree green onions, remaining ginger and garlic, the cilantro, lime juice, green jalapeno, soy sauce, sesame oil, and 2 tbsp. water in a blender. Transfer to a bowl. Cut limes into wedges.
4
Lift chicken from pot and slice. Transfer rice to a platter and arrange chicken on top. Serve with limes, sliced red jalapeno and cucumber, and cilantro-ginger sauce.
