Flavourful Steamed Chicken Breasts (Or Turkey, or Salmon...) image

This is a healthy way to prepare chicken without losing a lot of flavour. You can use the exact same recipe and technique with turkey breasts, salmon fillets, etc. The measurements for the flavourings inside are approximate - adjust to your own taste. Wrapping the chicken breasts in cling film prevents the flavours and seasonings from being washed away.

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 chicken breasts
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon lemon zest, grated
1 tablespoon ginger, sliced
1 tablespoon ginger, chopped

Steps:

  • Open up the chicken breast by cutting a pocket in the underside of the breast.
  • Stuff the pocket with ginger, garlic lemon zest, chilli flakes, salt, pepper and thyme.
  • Season the top side of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper as well.
  • Wrap the chicken breasts tightly in cling film and then steam them for about 25 minutes.
  • To check whether the breasts are cooked you need to unwrap one and make a cut into the underside of the breast to check that the meat is cooked through. If not, re-wrap and put back into the steamer for another 10 minutes or so.
