  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to make a steamed chicken in a slow cooker? Prepare the products. You can take not only the breast from the chicken, but also any other part: thigh, shin, wing. To make the dish as healthy as possible, cook them without skin. Salt can also be any. Now there are types of salt in stores that, in addition to the salt itself, contain a certain amount of seasonings: for example, Adyghe salt or black salt. Which one to choose is up to you.

    Step 2.

    Wash the chicken breast well, remove the bones and skin if necessary.

    Step 3.

    To prepare this dish, you will need a slow cooker. Take a bowl of slow cooker, pour clean filtered water on the bottom. Pour the amount of water depending on your multivarki model — read about it in the instructions. In mine, 200 ml is enough for steaming chicken. If desired, you can add bay leaf, allspice and any other seasonings to taste to the water — then the chicken will turn out more fragrant.

    Put the steaming nozzle on top.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    Put the chicken on it. I recommend not to salt the chicken before cooking, but to salt it at the very end, when the dish is already cooked. Salt removes the liquid, and we need the chicken to remain juicy. Cook the chicken in a slow cooker in the "Steaming" mode for 25 minutes. After the signal, open the lid and take out the chicken. Add salt to taste and serve it to the table.

    Step 6.

    This chicken is delicious both hot and cold. It can be eaten as a main dish with some side dish and vegetables, you can cut it and put it, for example, on a sandwich. Enjoy your meal!

For this recipe, it is better to take not frozen, but fresh meat, otherwise the finished meat risks getting dry.

Keep in mind that the cooking time and mode are indicated approximately in the recipe. All slow cookers work differently and even the same models of the same manufacturer may have their own characteristics. Before you start cooking a new dish for you in a slow cooker, carefully study the instructions for it, and then in practice try to cook dishes that are familiar to you first, and then new ones, choosing the mode and time individually for your own technique. 

Keep in mind that the quality and taste of the finished dish largely depends on the proper defrosting of the ingredients. How to avoid mistakes and choose the best way, read the article about defrosting.
