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.

The sauce was a bit too thick for my taste. I would recommend adding more water or broth to thin it out.

I found that the chicken was a bit dry. I think I would add more liquid to the braising liquid next time.
