4-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
2 teaspoons sea salt
2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns
4 to 6 tablespoons loose green tea

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For this recipe, it's best to use a whole chicken that's about 3 pounds. You can also use chicken breasts or thighs, but you'll need to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Use a good quality green tea: The type of green tea you use will affect the flavor of the dish. Look for a green tea that has a light, delicate flavor. Some good options include sencha, gyokuro, and matcha.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is best when it's cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooking will make the chicken dry and tough.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: After cooking the chicken, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Green tea poached chicken with green tea rice is a healthy and flavorful dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is cooked in a flavorful broth made with green tea, ginger, and garlic, and the rice is cooked in the same broth, infusing it with a delicate green tea flavor.
