Cooking Tips

If you don’t like garlic, you can use a teaspoon of Dijon mustard and change it to a Dijon sauce.

You can put anything on, to be honest. You know, you can put your paprika on there. You can put chili on. You can put anything on. That’s up to you.

Don’t stress. If you don’t like parsley, put something else in.

You can go any which way around on this cook. Entirely up to you. Cook your chicken first. Let the chicken rest whilst you steam the broccoli. If you’ve got a couple of rings, you can do both together. Not a problem. We are going to do it on one ring as usual. So, we’re going to cook the chicken first. We’re going to cover it with foil. And we’re going to steam the broccoli.

What we don’t want to do is over flavor this with this nice, subtle garlic sauce. But it’s up to you.

Nice and steady. We’re just going to cook it until it’s about 75 degrees inside. That’s 165. And the best way, obviously, is with a thermometer to check it.

Now, you can flip it as many times as you want. It’s not just a one flip over. We have got to get the heat through the chicken breast. No full poisoning.

For all the people that don’t have a steamer, colander will fit over there. The lid’s not going to seal it. Properly. But it’s still going to steam. It’s either that or you boil it. Well, I don’t want to boil it.

It is going to take possibly a minute longer. So, we’re going to probably steam this for about seven or eight minutes only.

When you’ve had a little while on there, you can test it with a fork if you want. Or you can just turn it off. It depends how soft you want your broccoli. Now, I want crunchy in mine.

You can do salt, pepper, chilli flakes, whatever.

Watch yourself on there with the lemon juice. Actually, you can turn it too sour.

Serving Suggestions

I’m going to serve it with rice, because I’ve got loads of rice, but you can serve it with canola, anything like that. Not a problem.

Served over rice with that really nice creamy sauce made out of yoghurt and garlic, a bit of parsley.

Simple dinner. Easy. If you like what we’re doing, share it with your friends. If you do like what we’re doing, a big thumbs up.
