Hainan Style Poached Chicken

Traditionally, Hainan style chicken is poached with a few simple flavours then served with a chilli sauce, a soy sauce and a ginger/shallot sauce.

We have simplified it and made it healthier by adding these flavours to the poaching liquid.
This may be the best poached chicken you've ever eaten!

Tip: You can prepare this chicken and keep it in the fridge for up to two days.

Hint: The cooking method will work with a chicken breast up to 250 grams just add an extra 5 minutes to the resting time.
