Eat Well
Poached chicken with wok tossed snow peas
Ingredients
- 4 cups chicken stock for poaching
- 4 organic chicken breasts
- 4 large handfuls of snow peas
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 - 2 red chillies, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 3 tbsp wheat free tamari
- 6 tbsp mirin
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh coriander and parsley combined
- zest from 2 lemons
Instructions
Bring the chicken stock to a low simmer. Add the chicken and gently poach for about 8-10 minutes until cooked through. Turn off the heat leaving the chicken in the stock while you prepare the snow peas. In a hot pan, sauté the chilli and garlic in the sesame oil for a few seconds then add the snow peas, tamari and mirin . Toss well for a minute until heated through but still crisp. To assemble, divide the snow peas between serving plates. Slice each chicken breast into three to four pieces and sprinkle with combined herbs and lemon zest. Arrange over the snow peas and eat.
