Cantonese-Style Poached Chicken Recipe

Cantonese-Style Poached Chicken is tender in texture and so juicy and delicious. The leftover chicken is great in other recipes such as fried rice and I use the poaching liquid to make chicken broth for soups or rice porridge (jook/congee). This recipe is free of top 9 allergens and very shareable since the ingredients are so simple.
