Yield Makes 4 to 6 (main course) servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 chicken breast halves with skin and bone (1 1/2 pounds total)
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon Asian chile-bean paste with garlic (preferably Lan Chi)
1 teaspoon red-chile oil , or to taste
1 teaspoon Sichuan-pepper oil , or to taste
1 teaspoon finely grated (with a rasp) peeled fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon finely grated (with a rasp) garlic
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh mild long red chile such as Holland

Steps:

  • Set a steamer rack inside a wide 6- to 8-quart pot and fill bottom with water (not above rack), then bring to a boil.
  • Arrange chicken in 1 layer in a shallow heatproof bowl small enough to fit just inside pot.

This recipe is a great weeknight meal. It's quick and easy to make, and the chicken is always moist and tender. I usually serve it with rice and vegetables, but it would also be good with noodles or potatoes.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some leftover rotisserie chicken and it worked perfectly in this recipe. The chicken was flavorful and the sauce was delicious.

I'm not a big fan of cilantro, but I really liked this recipe. The cilantro flavor was subtle and didn't overpower the other flavors. The chicken was moist and tender, and the sauce was delicious.

I love this recipe because it's so versatile. I've made it with chicken breasts, thighs, and even drumsticks. It always turns out great. I also like to add different vegetables to the sauce, such as bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms.

I thought the chicken was a bit bland. I would add more ginger and cilantro next time, and maybe some garlic and onion powder.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken turned out a bit dry. I think I would add a little more liquid next time, maybe some chicken broth or water.
