Ingredients
Directions
1 5 ounces boneless skinless chicken breast meat1 teaspoon minced garlic [or one fresh clove, chopped finely; the stuff in a jar is just easier for me since I use so much]1 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce
You're going to take the chicken breast half and slice it, or "butterfly" it, don't cut all the way through. You're going to want about 1/2" thickness. Stab the meat with a fork.
In a small shallow dish or bowl, combine the lite soy sauce and the garlic. Add the chicken to the soy mixture and coat evenly. Cover with foil and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
I use a stovetop steamer, looks like two pots on top of each other with a lid. I fill the bottom of the lower pot with about 1 1/2" of water, then place the steamer attachment on top. Turn the burner on to HIGH.
Meanwhile, take the chicken from the fridge and drain out the excess soy mixture. When the water in the steamer comes to a boil, add the chicken so that it lays flat and cover the steamer.
Steam for about five to seven minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reads 175 degrees.
Yields one hearty lowfat serving. :o)
