List of ingredients for Chinese style steamed chicken


* 1 chicken breast
* 2 slices ginger root, chopped into matchsticks
* 1 clove Garlic, sliced
* 1 large spring onion (scallion) finely chopped
* 1 teaspoon soy sauce
* 1 teaspoon chili flakes or 1 fresh red chili, julienned
* 1 squeeze lime or lemon juice

===Method===
* Place the chicken breast on a piece of foil large enough to wrap the chicken in a parcel
* Lay the chicken on a bed made from half of the ingredients then scatter the remaining over the top
* Wrap the chicken in the foil
* I use a vegetable steamer on an upturned bowl in a large pan, but a normal Chinese steamer works ok
* Bring a saucepan of water to the boil and place the chicken on your steamer so it's over but not immersed in water
* Cover and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes or until the chicken properly cooked. Core of chicken breast 74° C (165° F) It will depend on the size of the chicken.
* Don't allow it to boil dry!
* Discard all but the chicken once cooked
