  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to make chicken cutlets steamed in a slow cooker? Prepare the products. Wash the chicken fillet and dry it with a paper towel.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Peel the apples and seeds. Choose hard, green, juicy fruits better. Peel the onion as well.

  3. Step 3:

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7.

    Sprinkle a generous pinch of paprika on top of each cutlet — the finished dish will look beautiful and bright. Pour 1 liter of water into the bowl of the slow cooker. To speed up the process, I advise you to pour boiling water. Place the steamer basket in the bowl and close the lid. Choose the mode suitable for steaming (it can be called differently, depending on the model), set the time to 20 minutes.

  8. Step 8:

    After the time has elapsed, the cutlets are ready.

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. 

Chicken can be replaced with turkey or any other type of meat at your request. But keep in mind that in this case, the cooking time and calorie content of the dish will change.
