Basic Steamed Chicken Breasts

Rice can be cooked while steaming at the same time. Refer to your instruction manual for directions.

Prep: 5 min. Total: 20 min. Yield: Serves 2.

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place chicken breasts in the steam tray. You may also place chicken breasts on a plate that is just large enough to fit into the steam tray with about 1/2-inch clearance for steam circulation. If using a plate, spray plate with nonstick cooking spray, place seasoned chicken on the plate and cover with plastic wrap. Add 1 cup water to inner pot and place in the rice cooker. Place steam tray with chicken breasts into the inner pot. Cover and press the Steam/Cook button. Steam for about 10 minutes, or until chicken is firm to the touch and no pink is left in the center. Using oven mitts, carefully remove steam tray from rice cooker and serve chicken immediately.
