Rice Cooker Steamed Chicken






Ever want to steam the perfect chicken but don't want to deal with cleaning up a big mess? I avoid making steam chicken because I don't want to wash a the big steaming pot. So...here we go with the rice cooker!

It turn out nice, just perfectly cooked and very tasty. I started with a large chicken, about three and half to four pounds. Marinated it for 2 hours in the rice cooker, then push the cook button and pretend its rice! It will cook on its own, after about 30 minutes it will be done! Pierce a chopstick or stick in the breast area to see if its cooked, clear fluids if it is, pink if its not.

The marinade is easy, just rub it on and let it sit.
3 teaspoon of coarse salt
1 teaspoon of garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon of white pepper
1/2 teaspoon of turmeric
1/4 teaspoon of five spice powder

Make this the day before and serve it cold the next day. Or make it before cooking rice, then enjoy it for dinner. My kids love it! I do too!
