Ginger Poached Chicken with Coriander Dressing

To me, this is what you would, or should eat at a health farm. It is really delicious, tangy and eating it just makes you feel like you are becoming healthier with every bite. It is a recipe from Donna Hay’s Fast, Fresh, Simple and it is worth a try.

Start off by making the dressing. The flavours are fresh and interesting and would go with a lot of things, not just chicken. Fish would be nice with it. Anyway. Pop a third of a cup of tahini, 2 tbs of water, 2 tbs of lemon juice, 2 tsp of white wine vinegar, a clove of garlic, half a cup of coriander and a quarter of a cup of parsley into a blender and whiz until it is smooth.

Slice a knob of ginger and place it in a small pot filled with chicken stock. Bring it to the boil then reduce it to a simmer. Pop some chicken breasts in (one per person) and simmer for 6 minutes. Add a bunch of broccolini to the pot and simmer for another 3 to 5 minutes, until the chicken is cooked and the broccolini is tender.

Then all you have to do is slice the chicken and serve it with the broccolini and coriander dressing. Mmm… I feel healthier just thinking about it!
