I say its Chinese inspired bc I didn’t have all of the ingredients that are typically used for this dish. I subbed them for ingredients that I already had on hand. It turned out SO GOOD. Definitely my new favourite comfort food. I buy skin on chicken breast pretty much weekly from the South Melbourne Market! I used to be afraid of the skin but now its my favourite part. This breast weighs almost 500g so if you’re not super hungry, this one breast should serve 2. Save this easy recipe and send it to someone who needs this comfort food

Instructions

Step 1

Place baking paper in a steamer then place the chicken on the baking paper

Step 2

Mix together the rest of the chicken ingredients and pour over the chicken. Fold the baking paper over itself. To make sure mine stayed in place a put a little weight on the top.

Step 3

Steam for 14 - 15 minutes, and add the beans to another steaming pot and steam those on top for 7 minutes

Step 4

Bring the peanut oil to high heat and pour over the garlic, spring onion, chives and ginger. When it comes time to serving i try squeeze out most of the oil

Step 5

When the chicken is done carefully remove from the steamer so you can save the sauce at the bottom and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes

Step 6

Thinly slice the chicken, plate up with the rice and beans then pour over the sauce from the steamer. Top the chicken off with the green sauce. Enjoy!
