- Comments: Chicken breasts poached in a broth flavored with star anise, cinnamon, ginger, scallions, and soy sauce is a Chinese classic. Traditionally you would save, not serve, the broth - it improves each time you use it - but we can never resist serving it with the chicken as a light sauce. If desired, boil noodles separately and add in them to the broth for a meal in a dish.
