Ginger-scallion Chicken

Let’s get cooking

1. 01

   Prepare the dressing

   Finely mince half the ginger and scallions for dressing. Slice the remaining ginger and cut remaining scallions into sections.

2. 02

   Start poaching water

   Bring water, ginger slices, and scallion sections to a boil in a saucepan.

3. 03

   Poach gently

   Add chicken and lower to a steady gentle simmer. Cook about 15–20 minutes, checking the thickest part reaches 74°C; extend as needed.

4. 04

   Rest safely

   Move chicken to a clean board and rest 5 minutes before slicing. Do not use a raw-meat board.

5. 05

   Warm the dressing

   In a small pan heat oil over medium-low heat. Cook minced ginger and scallion for 30–60 seconds, season with salt and optional soy sauce, and spoon over chicken.
