The Method

1
In a large pot, combine chicken broth, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, mirin, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, ginger, and garlic. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
2
Gently add the chicken breasts to the simmering broth. Ensure the chicken is fully submerged. If necessary, add a little more broth or water.
3
Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and poach the chicken for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
4
While the chicken is poaching, prepare the Asian slaw. In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded cabbage, carrots, and green onions.
5
In a small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, sugar, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon sesame oil.
6
Pour the dressing over the slaw and toss to coat well.
7
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the broth and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
8
To serve, place a bed of Asian slaw on each plate and top with sliced chicken. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds.

Chef's Tips

Don't overcook the chicken, as it will become dry. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches the correct internal temperature.

You can use store-bought ramen broth for convenience, but homemade broth will have a richer flavor.

Feel free to add other vegetables to the slaw, such as bell peppers, cucumbers, or edamame.

For a spicier slaw, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dressing.

The poached chicken is also great in salads or sandwiches.
