Delicate Yunnan steam pot chicken brewed in its own juices is a pure, healthy dish. A high protein chicken recipe with fresh, clean flavors for family wellness.
Rinse and pat dry the chicken pieces; trim excess fat while keeping the bone for flavor base.
Lay chicken evenly in the steam pot, then add shiitake mushrooms, red dates, ginger slices, and scallion halves on top.
Sprinkle Shaoxing wine, kosher salt, and white pepper carefully over the ingredients to ensure even seasoning.
Seal the lid tightly; place the steam pot inside a large steamer or above boiling water and steam on low-medium heat for 1.5 to 2 hours.
After steaming, let it rest 5 minutes off heat, then open carefully and skim off excess surface fat. Serve hot, ladling clear chicken broth and tender meat into bowls.
