steamed chicken

Moist-heat cooked bird

Steamed chicken is chicken cooked by moist heat from boiling water, producing tender, juicy meat without added fat.

The technique is common in Chinese and other Asian cuisines, where whole chickens or pieces are steamed and served with ginger-scallion sauce or soy-based dips: The Cantonese steamed chicken was silky and flavorful.
