Description

This steamed chicken with apricots and ginger is a dish that I often prepare when I want something light but flavorful. The marinade with rice wine, fresh ginger and dried apricots gives the chicken an exotic aroma and an irresistible sweet and sour taste. Steaming makes it tender and juicy, perfect for a healthy and tasty dinner. Served with a caramelized sauce based on the cooking liquid, it is a real treat for the palate. Ideal for those looking for a light alternative rich in oriental flavors.
