Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger root
1 star anise pod
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

⅛ teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
1 pinch paprika

The only thing I would change about this recipe is the amount of mayonnaise. I find that 1/2 cup is a bit too much for my taste. I usually use about 1/4 cup and it's perfect.
