Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
3 cups broccoli (fresh chopped and or or cauliflower)
3 shakes salt
2 shakes black pepper

Steps:

  • Place water in the steamer pot (enough to boil for 30 or more minutes) and place over medium heat.
  • wash and chop the broccoli, and/or cauliflower and place in the steamer basket.
  • Slice chicken breasts into halves or thirds and place over the vegetables.
  • Salt and pepper the basket contents to taste.
  • When the water is boiling, add the basket and cover tightly with a lid.
  • After 5 minutes or so of steaming, separate the chicken pieces gently with a fork and continue steaming.
  • Steam until all is done (about 165 for the chicken and 190 to 200F for the broccoli). This is usually about 12 to 15 minutes if the chicken is divided.
