Tender Moist Chicken Breast Chinese Style Tender Moist Chicken Breast Chinese Style
I tried a lot of recipes that use cheap chicken breasts and create very tender results, and think this recipe is the best of all.Make sure that the chicken is covered with the chicken broth when it's being poached. Choose the right size pot and use water Just enough to cover the chicken.If you use too much water, the umami-filled juice of the chicken will escape into the water. Cool the chicken in the poaching liquid so that the meat can re-absorb the umami. Recipe by Asamato cookpad.japan -

Chinese-Style Chicken Breast Sauté Chinese-Style Chicken Breast Sauté
I always rely on chicken breast before payday. This is a Chinese flavored version of "Sautéed Chicken That's Still Tender and Mild". Another thing I want to do at the end of the month is to get rid of all the aromatic vegetables I have stored. I also wanted to use up some Chinese flavoring ingredients...so this recipe was born.I used a chicken breast that weighed 230g after the skin and extra fat were removed. After Step 3, it goes quickly, so if you have the time, pre-season the chicken in advance. If you will be using this in a bento and you'll be marinating it overnight and cooking it in the morning, use a little less salt and a little more sake. If leftover chicken stored in the refrigerator stiffens up, once you heat it up in the microwave, the tender texture will return. It's also delicious with some dry-roasted pine nuts scattered on top. If you like pine nuts I recommend adding them here. For 2 servings. Recipe by Sabumochi cookpad.japan -

Refreshing, Sweet & Savory Simmered Chicken Drumettes Refreshing, Sweet & Savory Simmered Chicken Drumettes
I posted this for my own reference. This recipe comes from a distant relative. I had the pleasure of having some with them, so I asked for the recipe and now I make this often with my added touches.Adding the mirin at the end gives a glazed finish. The meat is tender when done.In Step 1, it's best to cook both sides of the meat. Be careful, though, because if you overcook it, the meat is going to be tough.In Step 3, simmer it on a very low heat setting.I made my drop lid out of aluminum foil, so I made a hole in the center of it.
