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

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.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with some rotisserie chicken and it was delicious. The sauce is flavorful and tangy, and the chicken is tender and juicy. I served it over rice and it was a perfect meal.
