A low fat, fragrant and wonderful asian dish. One of the rare healthy but luscious :)

Steps

Mix the lemon grass , garlic and ginger together , season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and rub over the chicken.
Leave to marinate for 20 minutes.
Put just enough water into a steamer or pan and place the rack or steamer basket on top.
Place the chicken and seasoning inside , cover and steam for 15-20 minutes.
Scatter over the broccoli florets and cook for another two minutes.
Remove the steamer tray and set aside.
Whilst cooking the fragrant chicken juices should have dripped down into the water to make a stock and evaporated to leave approximately a glass full of liquid.
Thicken the stock with cornflour and season if necessary.

Serve with steamed rice.
