SOY CHICKEN
Serves 4
Syn Free
6 tbsp. reduced salt dark soy sauce
4 skinless chicken breasts
3-4 star anise
A 5cm strip of orange zest
2 spring onions, sliced on the diagonal
Heat the soy sauce in a pan large enough to
hold the chicken breasts in one layer, until it starts to bubble.
Add the chicken pieces, along with the star
anise, orange zest and a few good shakes of ground white pepper.
Cover and simmer gently for 40 minutes,
turning every 15 minutes.
Keep an eye on it from time to time, to make
sure the sauce doesn't catch on the bottom of the pan. If this starts to
happen, just scrape the base of the pan with a wooden spoon or plastic spatula,
to release any bits and keep the heat very low. We think these bits add to the
yummy flavour but, obviously, if they stick too much it'll just burn
everything! :O
Serve the chicken on top of some boiled rice,
garnished with the spring onions and with a side of greens. This was originally
meant to be cooked with skin-on chicken but it still tastes delicious with skinless.
