Steamed chicken fillet is easy to cook. Do not believe those who say that the meat is dry, they just do not know how to cook it! There are several simple techniques to keep chicken breast juicy. First, the pieces of meat should be quite thick (1, 5-2 centimeters). Secondly, it is necessary to wrap it in something, so that the steam does not wash off the spices. Leek or grape leaves are suitable for this purpose. Thirdly, you need to cook the breast for no more than 8 minutes, and then give it a “rest”.
Prepare stewed cabbage with spices for garnish with steam chicken. With ginger, turmeric and bell pepper - this traditional dish will be a great addition to the juicy chicken.
