Ingredients:

Serving

3 1/2 cups canned low-sodium chicken broth or homemade stock
2 carrots, cut diagonally into 1/2-inch slices
6 scallions including green tops, 5 cut into 4-inch lengths, 1 chopped
6 1/2- inch slices peeled fresh ginger , smashed
4 cloves garlic , smashed
1/4 cup brown sugar, preferably dark
1/4 cup soy sauce
5 whole star anise
3 cinnamon sticks
6 black peppercorns
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup dry sherry
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/3 lb in all )

Directions:

In a large saucepan, combine the broth, carrots, the 5 scallions, the smashed ginger, the garlic, brown sugar, soy sauce, star anise, cinnamon sticks, peppercorns, and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes.
Add the sherry and chicken and bring back to a simmer over moderately low heat, covered. Turn the chicken and simmer, covered, until the chicken is just done, about 5 minutes.
With a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken, carrots, and star anise to large shallow bowls. Strain the broth and add the minced ginger and 2 tablespoons of the chopped scallion. Ladle the broth over the chicken and top with the remaining chopped scallion.
Wine Recommendation: The exotic yet delicate broth requires a flavorful but light white wine. A German riesling would be ideal; if the riesling you choose has some slight sweetness, all the better.
