published Dec 20, 2023, updated Apr 02, 2024 You are going to love this Chinese steamed chicken! It is definitely one of my all-time favorites when it comes to healthy Asian cooking. There is no stir-frying or sauteing required. Instead, the chicken and lemon sauce are gently steamed over water. The steam keeps the chicken moist and succulent while allowing the fresh flavors in the sauce to really shine. Plus, this steamed chicken recipe is incredibly easy to make. All you need to do is mix up the sauce, let the chicken soak in it for about 20 minutes, then steam everything together in a heat-proof dish. Forget about takeout! This is your ticket to authentic Asian cuisine in no time! For more Chinese recipe ideas, check out my Beef with Black Bean Sauce, Chinese Five Spice Ribs, and Moo Shu Pork.
