With only a couple of ingredients, the star anise really stands out.

Ingredients

  • 4½cups good quality chicken stock or broth (you may need 1 to 2 additional cups of stock/broth to add during serving)
  • 4 to 6star anise pods (about ¾ to 1 ounce)
  • 8ounces small white mushrooms, cleaned
  • 1small zucchini, cut into ½-inch rounds or half-moons
  • ½pound edible pod or snow peas, trimmed
  • 1½pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch strips
  • steamed white or brown rice

Preparation

  1. 1. Put the chicken stock/broth and star anise in the fondue pot. Set to Setting 6 to bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to Setting 3.5 to reduce to a simmer. Allow to simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes.
  2. 2. To serve, skewer pieces of chicken onto forks and cook until firm and cooked through in the simmering broth, about 4 to 5 minutes. Skewer vegetables and cook to taste.The vegetables and broth pair very well with a bowl of rice, or with the suggested dipping sauces below. If liquid cooks off too much, add additional stock/broth and allow to simmer for a few minutes before cooking foods.
