another chicken recipe:
F'eng Cheng Honey Tender Chicken
This is a great cold salad or summer dish. My mom always made it for picnics- we joked that it was 'just exotic enough' so that the little old church ladies would love it but it wouldn't be TOO ethnic for them. Comes from the People's Republic of China cookbook, now out of print -(ISBN: 0-394-40286-3). So these are genuine traditional Chinese recipes. Hope you enjoy it. (I cheat and just boil the chicken until it's white, I don't bother with the reducing heat, also i just basically shred the chicken... yeah, lazy me =P)
Seasoning ingredients:
2 Tablespoons honey
1 Tablespoon oyster sauce
2 Tablespoons thin soy sauce (or regular if that's all you have)
1 Tablespoon chicken stock
1 Tablespoon rice wine or sherry
1-1/2 teaspoons sesame oil
1-1/4 pounds boned chicken breast 1/2 head lettuce, sliced
Combine the ingredients for the seasoning mixture. Put the chicken in boiling water in a pot over high heat, immediately reduce the heat and cook for 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken and let the water come to a boil again. Put the chicken back in and cook for 5 minutes over low heat. Repeat this process at least once more, until the chicken turns white. Cool and cut the chicken into pieces about 1 by 1/2 by 1/2 inches, arrange on bed of lettuce and spoon mixture over top.
