- 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
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.
Please note: This recipe will last a maximum of 3 days in the fridge due to raw garlic and the risk of botulism.
