Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Fresh ginger
- 6 sticks Scallions (green onions)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 4 cups Water
Directions
Step 1
Thinly slice the ginger and scallions. Reserve 2 scallions for garnish and roughly chop the remaining scallions.
Step 2
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Step 3
In a large pot with a steaming rack, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Layer the sliced ginger and chopped scallions evenly across the steaming rack.
Step 5
Place the chicken breasts on top of the ginger and scallions in a single layer. Cover the pot with a lid and reduce the heat to medium. Steam for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 6
While the chicken is steaming, prepare the sauce by mixing the coconut aminos, sesame oil, and minced garlic in a small bowl.
Step 7
Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the steamer and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Step 8
Slice the chicken and arrange it on a serving plate. Drizzle the sauce over the chicken and garnish with the reserved thinly sliced scallions.
