I got a Steam Pot with my Hotpoint Combi oven, so I decided to try something different to the normal fish and vegetables. Steam cooking is such a healthy way to cook as it keeps all the nutrients, moisture and structure in the food.

For the Chicken:-

2 Chicken Breasts – season with salt & pepper & crushed spiced red pepper (or chilli)

1. Place 200ml of water into the steam pot and place the grid in the pot.
2. Place the chicken breasts onto the grid plate and put on the lid.
3. Select Steam Cooking and steam for 10 minutes.

Result:- perfect succulent juicy chicken

For the Rice:-

150g of Long grain and wild rice (approx 75g per person)

300ml of Chicken Stock

1. Place the rice into the steam pot (remove the grid)
2. Pour the stock into the rice and cover with the lid
3. Cook on the rice setting for 18 minutes

Result:- perfectly cooked rice

I slightly cheated and bought some ready made Chow mein sauce which I heated up in a pan for a few minutes and poured over chicken and rice…..so yummy!

Serve with a Fortune Cookie! (For a bit of fun!)
