Recipe Method
1. Combine first 9 ingredients in a
large zip-top plastic bag. Add
chicken to bag; seal and
marinate in refrigerator at least 6 hours or up to 24 hours, turning bag occasionally.
2. Remove chicken from bag, reserving marinade. Pour marinade into a large skillet; stir in broth. Arrange chicken in a bamboo steamer coated with cooking spray; cover with steamer lid.
3. Place bamboo steamer in pan; bring marinade mixture to a boil. Steam the chicken 18 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in center of breasts registers 165 degrees. Transfer chicken to a platter.
4. Remove steamer from pan. Strain marinade mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl; discard solids.
5. Return marinade mixture to pan; bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until reduced to 1/2 cup (about 2 minutes). Serve sauce with chicken.
