Step 1
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high. Brown chicken pieces, stirring, until edges are golden, ~5 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in ginger-garlic paste and cook 30 seconds until fragrant. Add rice, coconut milk, and 1 cup water; stir well.
Step 3
Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook 12 minutes until rice is tender and liquid absorbs.
Step 4
While rice cooks, heat 1 tbsp oil in a separate small skillet. Cook chayote slices, stirring, for 4 minutes until just tender.
Step 5
In same small skillet, push chayote to the side. Crack eggs into pan and cook until whites set but yolks still jiggle, ~3 minutes.
Step 6
Warm satay sauce in a small saucepan over low heat, 2 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork and divide between bowls.
Step 7
Top each bowl with satay-cooked chicken, chayote, fried egg, and a drizzle of warm satay sauce. Serve immediately.
