Thanks for the recipe . I'm anxious to try it. One quick question I had was is the chicken raw or cooked when you pulse it? Then I saw you had the temperature mentioned which told me it must be raw.

[HebbieDobby]

@msfeetfirst1 Correct, the chicken meat is raw when you process it. That's why we checked the tem after steaming to make sure we provided the right amount of time. 4 minutes on each side is perfect. ENJOY!

What does Swiss Chard taste like? Spinach or lettuce? Looks good but I'm a picky eater and don't like most veggies.

[HebbieDobby]
