Lemongrass, ginger, scallions, garlic and tomatoes are sauteed to make the base for the broth. Lime juice is stirred in towards the end of cooking time.
Two things make this recipe stand out. First, the crust that stays crispy after the chicken meat has cooled and, second, the dipping sauce that’s surprisingly so easy to make.
The key to keeping lean chicken breast meat moist is avoid overcooking. It also helps if you coat the chicken pieces in batter. Both techniques are employed in this recipe.
