Select your microwave wattage in the dropdown. The cook times in this recipe will automatically change accordingly.

To find your microwave’s wattage, look at the front panel, the side of the door, in the back, in the user manual, or Google the model number. If both an input and output wattage are listed, use the output.

Wattage translates to how powerful the microwave is. The higher the wattage, the faster your food will cook. The lower the wattage, the longer the cook time.

When in doubt, start with less time — you can always add more.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup (30g) yellow onion, finely chopped
  • ⅛ teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
  • ¼ cup (50g) sun dried tomatoes
  • ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper, ground
  • 1½ cups fresh spinach
  • 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese (plus more for topping)
  • 1 6oz boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • Fresh basil or Italian parsley, if desired

Preparation

  1. Place the butter in the Anyday dish and microwave until melted, about 30 seconds.
  2. Add the garlic, onion, chili flakes, sun dried tomatoes, cream, salt, and pepper, tossing to coat. 
  3. Cook in the microwave for 4-5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the onions have softened. Stir in the spinach and cheese.
  4. Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides and nestle the chicken breasts into the sauce. Cover with the lid (knob lifted) and continue cooking in the microwave for 7-8 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked. 
  5. Sprinkle with extra parmesan cheese and garnish with basil or parsley.

Serving suggestions & tips

  • You may substitute the chicken with boneless pork chops or tofu.
  • To bulk up the sauce, add halved cherry tomatoes to cook with the chicken.
