Instructions

1

Slice the chicken breast into thin, bite-sized strips to ensure quick and even cooking. Rub lightly with ginger and a pinch of salt.

2

Set up a bamboo steamer or a metal steaming rack over a pot of boiling water. Place the chicken on a heat-proof plate and set it in the steamer.

3

Steam for 6-8 minutes until the chicken is opaque and cooked through. The juices should run clear.

4

Meanwhile, roughly chop the broccoli florets and steam them in the same rack for 4-5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.

5

In the final minute of steaming, toss the fresh spinach into the steamer basket just until it wilts and loses its volume.

6

Remove from heat and arrange the chicken, broccoli, and spinach on a plate. Finish with a drizzle of high-quality olive oil and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavors.
