Recipe
Ginger-lime poached chicken & daikon noodles
Poached chicken over daikon and cucumber ribbons.
Ingredients
- Chicken breast — 6 oz (1)
- Daikon — 6 oz (½, ribboned)
- Cucumber — 5¼ oz (½, ribboned)
- Ginger — 1 tsp
- Garlic-infused olive oil — 2 Tbsp
- Lime
- Herbs
- Sea salt
Method
- Poach the chicken in barely-simmering water 10 minutes; rest 2–3 minutes, then slice.
- Whisk the ginger, oil, lime and salt.
- Toss the daikon and cucumber in the dressing; top with chicken and herbs.
Notes
Barely-simmering poach (not a rolling boil) keeps the chicken breast tender. If the water is bubbling, lower the heat — chicken turns chalky above 175°F internal.
