Ingredients

125 grams of free range chicken breast

2 cups of chicken bone broth or stock

1 cup of full fat coconut milk

1 long green shallot/scallion, halved

1 long green chilli, sliced

1/2 lime, sliced

1/2 teaspoon of sea salt

6 whole peppercorns

1/2 bok choy

3 stems of broccolini

fresh cracked black pepper and sliced shallot greens to serve

1 1/4 lime to serve

Method

Add the stock, milk, shallot, chilli, lime, salt and peppercorns to a saucepan and bring to a boil slowly. You will need enough liquid for the chicken to be completely covered so top up with water if necessary.

Add the chicken and bring back to the boil, remove from the heat, cover and set aside for 20 minutes.

While the chicken is resting steam the greens until just tender.

Remove the chicken from the poaching liquid, slice and top with cracked black pepper and sliced shallots. Serve with the steamed greens and lime wedge.
