Step 1
Cut the 1 lb chicken breast into 1-inch chunks and the 1 red bell pepper into thin strips. Place both in a heatproof bowl that fits inside your steamer.
Step 2
Pour 2 cups chicken broth over the chicken and peppers. Sprinkle with 0.5 tsp salt and 0.25 tsp black pepper, then scatter 0.25 cup chrysanthemum flowers on top.
Step 3
Set the bowl in a steamer over boiling water. Cover and steam over medium-high heat until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center, about 15-20 minutes.
Step 4
Carefully remove the bowl from the steamer. Stir the broth gently to mix the flavors, then serve hot with rice if desired.
