Cantonese Style Steamed Chicken

Since Hubby originated from a Cantonese family, I decided to try to make dishes that his Mum used to make every time when we were back in his hometown for the Winter Solstice dinner. This dish is normally made available whenever we were in his parents' place. So in order to have a more 'home' feel, we will be having Cantonese Style Steamed Chicken with the Ginger Garlic Parsley Sauce. This sauce it so good that you can eat it on its own and also good as a dipping sauce for other types of meat.
