Ingredients

  • 50 g portion of red pesto
  • 500-700 g chicken breast cubed
  • 500 g baby red potato sliced into thick round coins

Dressing Ingredients

  • 100 g red pesto
  • 30 g greek yoghurt or home made mayonnaise for dairy free
  • 10 g balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp salt

To serve

  • baby spinach
  • chopped macadamia nuts

Instructions

  • Add dressing ingredients to mixer bowl, combine for 10 sec/speed 2/MC on. Set aside.
  • Put your prepared potatoes into the simmering basket and coat the chopped chicken breast in the 50 g or 1.8 oz red pesto and put into the deep steaming tray.
  • Without washing the bowl, add 500 g or 17.6 oz water to mixer bowl, insert simmering basket, put the steaming tray in place and cook for 17-20 min/steaming temp/speed 3 or until cooked. Stir chicken part way through to ensure even cooking.
  • Set potatoes aside to cool and tip out steaming water. Put chicken into the mixer bowl and roughly chop for 1-2 sec/speed 5/MC on.
  • At this point you can either allow your potato and chicken to cool completely before combining with dressing and salad items, or combine it warm for a warm salad.
