[[video-wattage]]

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.

Dish

The Medium Deep Dish

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup (30g) yellow onion, finely chopped
  • teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
  • ¼ cup (50g) sun-dried tomatoes
  • ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper, ground
  • cups fresh spinach
  • 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese (plus more for topping)
  • 1 6-8 oz (170-215g each) boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • Fresh basil or Italian parsley, if desired

Preparation

  1. Add the melted butter, garlic, onion, chili flakes, sun-dried tomatoes, cream, salt, and pepper, tossing to coat.
  2. Cook uncovered for 3-4 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the onions have softened. Stir in the spinach and cheese.
  3. Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides. Nestle the chicken breasts into the sauce.
  4. Cover with the lid (knob lifted) and continue cooking in the microwave at Power Level 5tooltip for 9-11 minutes stirring halfway, 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.

Recipe notes

  • Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
