Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon peanut oil
4 chicken breast halves with skin and bones
12 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed, caps quartered
2 cups chopped green onions
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
2 14 1/2-ounce cans low-salt chicken broth
1/2 cup hoisin sauce
4 whole star anise
4 cups 3/4-inch-wide strips Napa cabbage (about 1/2 small head)
1 tablespoon hot chili sauce (such as sambal olek or sriracha)*
*Available at Asian markets and in the Asian foods section of some supermarkets.

Steps:

  • Heat peanut oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add chicken; sauté until brown, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to bowl. Add mushrooms, 1 1/2 cups green onions, garlic and ginger to pot. Sauté until mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes. Return chicken to pot. Add chicken broth, hoisin sauce and star anise. Bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove chicken from pot; cool slightly. Remove skin and bones from chicken and discard. Cut meat crosswise into 1/2-inch-wide strips.
  • Meanwhile, boil mixture in pot until reduced to 2 1/2 cups, about 20 minutes. Stir in cabbage and chili sauce. Boil until cabbage is tender, about 4 minutes. Return chicken to pot; simmer until heated through, about 2 minutes. Transfer to bowl. Discard star anise. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup green onions.

I'm always looking for new chicken recipes and this one definitely fits the bill. It's easy to make, delicious, and a great way to use up leftover chicken.

I froze some of the leftovers and they reheated well. This is a great dish to have on hand for busy weeknights.

This dish is a great make-ahead meal. I made it the night before and reheated it for dinner the next day. It was just as good the second time around.

I added some chopped green onions to the dish at the end and it really brightened up the flavor.

I served this dish over rice and it was perfect. The sauce was so flavorful that it really soaked into the rice.

I made this dish with boneless, skinless chicken breasts and it turned out great. I think it would also be good with thighs or drumsticks.

This dish is a little bit spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less chili peppers.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some roasted chicken that I didn't know what to do with, so I decided to try this recipe. It turned out great! The chicken was reheated and the sauce added a lot of flavor.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The sweetness of the mushrooms and the spiciness of the chicken complement each other perfectly. I also love the anise flavor that comes through in the sauce.
