Steamed Chicken

Ingredients

• 2 steamer cups of brown rice (preferably short grain)
• Chicken stock nicely seasoned
• 1 double skinless boneless chicken breast
• 1 lemon
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 tablespoon of your favorite fresh herb
• 10 to 15 turns of the pepper mill
• 1 cup thinly sliced white cabbage
• 1 cup thinly sliced red cabbage
• 1/2 red pepper peeled, seeded and thinly sliced
• 1/2 yellow pepper peeled, seeded and thinly sliced

Instructions

1. 1
   Rinse the rice in a fine strainer and add to the rice cooker. Fill the cooker with nicely seasoned chicken stock to a level just above the number 2 mark. Set aside an extra 1/2 cup of stock for later. Turn the cooker on. The rice should take about a half hour to 40 minutes to cook. Set a timer for 30 minutes so you don't forget to add the rest of the ingredients. Now you can do the rest...
2. 2
   Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise, then slice each breast into 1/4- to 1/2-inch slices. Arrange the slices in a dish large enough to hold the slices in a single layer without overlapping.
3. 3
   Grate the peel off the lemon into a small non-reactive bowl (glass or plastic), being careful not to grate into the white part. Squeeze one half of the lemon into the bowl. Add the oil, salt, herb and freshly milled pepper. Mix until the ingredients are well combined.
4. 4
   Drizzle evenly over the chicken slices and set aside to marinate.
5. 5
   Listen carefully for the rice cooker to "click" to the warm position. Now you must work quickly! Remove the lid from the cooker and spread the white and red cabbage over the top of the rice, then sprinkle the onions over.
6. 6
   Quickly lay the chicken over the cabbage and onions. The chicken should almost completely cover the veggies.
7. 7
   Top the chicken with the red and yellow peppers and some more of the fresh herbs. Pour in the 1/2 cup of reserved chicken stock and cover.
8. 8
   Turn the steamer back to the on position and set a timer for 10 minutes. When the timer goes off, all of the chicken and veggies will be perfectly cooked. Serve right from the cooker, or toss well and place in a serving bowl.
